Aggregate Base Course (Non-Spec)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - Non-Spec
Aggregate Base Course (ABC) - Non-Spec is a versatile construction material composed of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. Unlike specification-grade ABC, this non-spec variety is produced without strict adherence to gradation or material standards, making it a cost-effective option for a wide range of foundational applications.
The non-spec attribute means the material may contain a broader mix of particle sizes and shapes, which can affect compaction and load-bearing properties. While it may not be suitable for projects requiring precise engineering standards, Non-Spec ABC is ideal for temporary roadways, construction site access, sub-base for driveways, and general fill. Its affordability and availability make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects where exact specifications are not critical. However, users should note that the variable composition may result in less uniform compaction and drainage compared to spec-graded base courses.
