Road Base (Asphalt, Crushed)
Applications & Uses
Road Base - Asphalt, Crushed
Road base with an asphalt, crushed attribute is a versatile construction aggregate made by crushing reclaimed asphalt pavement and mixing it with other aggregates. This process produces a durable, stable material that combines the binding properties of asphalt with the structural strength of crushed stone.
The crushed asphalt content enhances compaction and provides a semi-flexible surface, making it ideal for use as a sub-base in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and pathways. Its excellent load-bearing capacity and ability to resist rutting and erosion make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. Additionally, using recycled asphalt is environmentally friendly and cost-effective. While it compacts well and offers good drainage, it may not be as decorative as other aggregates and can be more difficult to rework once set.
