Roadbase is a fundamental aggregate material used extensively in construction projects and paving. It serves as the foundation for roads, highways, and other transportation infrastructure. Some common uses for roadbase are:
This material provides essential support and stability for the overlying pavement layers. It distributes the load from traffic evenly, minimizing settlement and preventing pavement failure.
For drainage management, is designed to facilitate proper drainage, preventing water accumulation on the road surface. This helps reduce the risk of hydroplaning and prolongs the lifespan of the pavement.
Limerock aggregates are commonly used for drainage and erosion control in civil engineering and landscaping projects. Also, can be employed in the construction of French drains, retaining walls, and erosion control structures to facilitate proper water drainage and prevent soil erosion. Its permeable nature allows water to flow through the aggregate layer, reducing surface runoff and preventing waterlogging in the soil. Limerock aggregates also help stabilize slopes and embankments, minimizing erosion and preserving the integrity of natural and engineered landscapes.
Other use is done as foundation and structural fill materials in building construction and infrastructure projects. In this application, the material is placed beneath building foundations, floor slabs, and retaining walls to provide support, stability, and load-bearing capacity. It is compacted to achieve the required density and strength, ensuring a solid base for constructing above-ground structures. Limerock fill is also used in the construction of bridges, culverts, and other transportation infrastructure to support heavy loads and resist settlement.
