Road Base (1″, Airport, P-209)
Applications & Uses
Road Base, Airport P-209, 1" Size Range
Road base with the Airport P-209 specification in a 1" size range is a high-quality aggregate blend designed specifically for heavy-duty pavement support, such as airport runways and taxiways. Manufactured by crushing and screening durable stone, this material meets strict gradation and performance standards to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity under extreme conditions.
The 1" size range provides an optimal balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for applications where both strength and water management are critical. The P-209 attribute ensures the material is free from excessive fines and meets FAA requirements, reducing dust and improving long-term durability. While primarily used in airport construction, this road base is also suitable for high-traffic commercial driveways, industrial yards, and heavy equipment pads. Its main advantages include excellent compaction, superior load distribution, and reliable performance in demanding environments; however, its coarse texture may not be suitable for decorative or pedestrian surfaces.
