Aggregate Base Course (Untreated)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course (Untreated)
Aggregate Base Course, in its untreated form, is a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and sand that serves as a foundational layer in construction projects. Unlike treated base courses, this material does not contain added binders or stabilizers, making it a cost-effective and versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
The untreated attribute means the aggregate remains in its natural state, which allows for excellent drainage and compaction properties. This makes it ideal for use beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs, where a stable and permeable base is essential. Its ability to compact tightly provides a solid foundation, while the lack of treatment ensures minimal environmental impact and easier handling. However, because it is untreated, it may generate more dust during installation and may not be suitable for surfaces requiring maximum stability or dust control.
