CRUSHED CONCRETE

Main Uses

🔹 Base and Sub-base in Construction

  • Used as a base layer for roads, driveways, and parking lots.
  • Cost-effective alternative to traditional base materials (#57 stone or base course).
  • Compacts well and provides strong load-bearing capacity.

🔹 Structural Backfill and Grading

  • Applied in trench backfilling and site leveling.
  • Can replace gravel in low-budget projects.

🔹 Erosion Control and Drainage

  • Placed along road shoulders or slopes to stabilize soil.
  • Its irregular particle size allows better water infiltration.

🔹 Sustainable Applications

  • Recycled from demolished concrete, reducing construction waste.
  • Eco-friendly alternative to newly mined aggregates.

👉 Key Features:
Crushed concrete is a recycled, cost-effective, and sustainable material. It provides good compaction and drainage, though it may not always be suitable for high-performance structural applications.
