Aggregate Base Course (Modified, Granular)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Modified, Granular
Aggregate Base Course with a modified, granular attribute is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete, processed to achieve a consistent granular texture. The "modified" designation typically means the material has been engineered or blended to meet specific gradation and compaction requirements, enhancing its load-bearing capacity and stability.
The granular nature of this base course allows for excellent compaction and interlocking, which is crucial for creating a stable sub-base in roadways, parking lots, driveways, and under concrete slabs. Its structure promotes effective drainage while minimizing settlement and shifting, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications. The modified, granular composition ensures a balance between strength and workability, though it may require mechanical compaction for optimal performance. This material is valued for its durability, ease of installation, and ability to provide a long-lasting, supportive foundation for a variety of construction projects.
