Structural Fill Material

Structural fill material is a specially selected and processed aggregate used to provide a stable base or subbase in construction projects. Unlike general fill, structural fill is engineered to meet specific compaction and load-bearing requirements, ensuring long-term stability and support for overlying structures.

The structural attribute of this fill means it is composed of well-graded particles that compact tightly, minimizing settlement and providing excellent support for foundations, roadways, parking lots, and building pads. Its reliable compaction characteristics make it ideal for both residential and commercial applications where stability is critical, such as under slabs, behind retaining walls, or as backfill around utilities. While structural fill may not be as decorative as other aggregates, its performance in load-bearing and compaction makes it a preferred choice for foundational work.
