Aggregate Base Course (Lime)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course with Lime
Aggregate Base Course with lime is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel blended with lime. The addition of lime enhances the material's binding properties, increasing its strength and durability. This blend is typically produced by mixing high-quality aggregates with a controlled amount of lime, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of applications.
The inclusion of lime in the aggregate base course is particularly valuable for projects requiring improved load-bearing capacity and resistance to moisture. Lime acts as a stabilizer, reducing plasticity in clay-rich soils and minimizing the risk of shifting or settling over time. This makes it an excellent choice for road bases, parking lots, driveways, and under concrete slabs in both residential and commercial settings. While the lime content improves long-term stability and reduces maintenance needs, it may require careful handling during installation to ensure proper mixing and compaction.
