Aggregate Base Course (Modified)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Modified
Aggregate Base Course with a modified attribute is a foundational construction material engineered for enhanced stability and performance. This material typically consists of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, processed to meet specific gradation and compaction standards. The "modified" designation indicates that the aggregate has been adjusted-often with the addition of fines or binding agents-to improve its load-bearing capacity and compaction characteristics.
The modified attribute is especially important for projects requiring a strong, stable base, such as roadways, parking lots, driveways, and building pads. It ensures excellent compaction, reducing the risk of settling or shifting over time. This makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where long-term durability is essential. While the increased fines content can make the material less permeable (reducing drainage), it significantly enhances structural integrity and resistance to rutting. Overall, Aggregate Base Course, Modified, is a reliable choice for any project demanding a robust, well-compacted foundation.
