Road Base (Concrete)
Applications & Uses
Road Base with Concrete Attribute
Road base with a concrete attribute is a high-performance aggregate blend designed for superior strength and stability. This material typically consists of crushed stone, gravel, and sand, combined with concrete fines or recycled concrete, resulting in a dense, durable base layer. The inclusion of concrete enhances compaction and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for demanding construction environments.
The concrete attribute in road base improves its binding properties, reducing dust and increasing resistance to shifting under heavy loads. This makes it especially suitable for use beneath driveways, parking lots, roadways, and heavy-duty pavements in both residential and commercial projects. Its excellent compaction and stability also make it a preferred choice for sub-base layers under concrete slabs and pavers. While the concrete content provides added strength, it may be less permeable than traditional road base, so proper drainage planning is recommended.
