Recycled Roadbase

Rec-Roadbase can be used for a variety of applications including large infrastructure projects like the construction of major roads as well as smaller projects like intermediate and minor roads. It can be used in residential and industrial subdivisions, private roads within complexes, pathways, car parks, driveways and other hard stand areas. Recycled road base, designed to be compactable & made from recycled concrete.

Best Uses

• Sub-base and base course for driveways and paved areas
• Civil and commercial construction foundations
• Under slabs, concrete pads and structural footings
• Compacted base for retaining walls and hardscape structures
• Access roads and vehicle manoeuvring areas
• Backfilling trenches and engineered fills

Product Characteristics

• Texture: Coarse, well-graded recycled aggregate
• Composition: Processed recycled concrete and building materials
• Shape: Angular particles for strong mechanical interlock
• Compaction: Excellent base compaction characteristics
• Drainage: Good permeability for reduced water pooling
• Performance: Stable under load with strong support properties

Benefits

• Provides a strong, reliable structural base for hardscape and civil projects
• Supports high compaction and load-bearing requirements
• Permits effective drainage when used in engineered placements
• Cost-effective alternative to virgin quarried base materials
• Supports environmentally sustainable construction outcomes
• Helps reduce waste to landfill through recycled material reuse

Coverage Guide

Coverage will vary depending on application depth and design specifications. For sub-base and base layers, place Rec-RoadBase to the prescribed engineered depth and compact in lifts (layers) to achieve optimum strength and performance. Always follow project or engineering guidelines for thickness and compaction.

Suitable For

• Residential and commercial driveways
• Civil infrastructure base works
• Sub-base for paving slabs and concrete pads
• Retaining wall footings and structural bases
• Access roads and hardstand areas
• General structural fill and engineered fill zones

Not Recommended For

• Use as a decorative surface material
• Soil amendment or planting medium
• Fine bedding or screed material
• Applications requiring high organic or fine soil content
