Aggregate Base Course (Type 5)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course in Type 5 Size Range
Aggregate Base Course in a Type 5 size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines engineered for use as a foundational layer in construction projects. This material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening quarried rock to achieve a specific gradation, ensuring optimal compaction and load-bearing capacity.
The Type 5 size range offers a balanced mix of coarse and fine particles, which enhances stability and compaction while minimizing voids. This makes it ideal for use under roadways, parking lots, driveways, and concrete slabs, where a strong, stable base is essential. Its gradation allows for excellent load distribution and resistance to shifting or settling, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial applications. While its dense composition provides superior support, it may be less permeable than more open-graded aggregates, so proper drainage design is recommended in moisture-sensitive areas.
