Road Base (Cm-6)
Applications & Uses
Road Base with Cm-6 Attribute
Road Base with a Cm-6 attribute is a versatile construction aggregate engineered for foundational strength and stability. Typically composed of a blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, this material is processed to meet the Cm-6 specification, ensuring a well-graded mix that compacts efficiently and provides excellent load-bearing capacity.
The Cm-6 attribute indicates a specific gradation and composition, which is crucial for achieving optimal compaction and minimizing voids. This makes it ideal for use in road construction, driveways, parking lots, and as a sub-base for concrete or asphalt surfaces. Its ability to lock together under compaction reduces shifting and settling, resulting in a durable, long-lasting foundation. While its dense composition offers superior support, it may be less permeable than more open-graded materials, making it less suitable for drainage layers. Overall, Road Base with Cm-6 is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a stable, compactable base.
