Aggregate Base Course (Shot)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course Course - Shot
Aggregate Base Course Course with a "shot" attribute is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel, typically produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks. The "shot" designation indicates that the aggregate has been processed to create angular, irregular pieces, which interlock effectively when compacted.
The shot attribute enhances load-bearing capacity and stability, making this material ideal for use as a sub-base in roadways, parking lots, and building foundations. Its angular texture promotes excellent compaction and minimizes shifting, which is crucial for supporting heavy traffic and structural loads. Common applications include residential driveways, commercial parking areas, and as a base layer beneath concrete or asphalt surfaces. While the angular nature of shot aggregate provides superior stability and drainage, it may be less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas due to its rough texture.
