Product Overview
MOT type 1 sub base supplied in a loose load format. This material is a crushed granular aggregate composed of limestone, granite, or recycled concrete, graded to comply with the Department of Transport Specification for Highway Works (Clause 803).
It provides a stable and well-compacted foundation layer for driveways, access roads, paths, and construction platforms. The material forms a dense load-bearing layer when compacted, supporting overlying tarmac, concrete, or paving.
Supplied as a bulk loose load, it allows direct tipping for large-scale groundwork or surfacing projects where efficiency and volume delivery are essential.
Features & Benefits
- Loose Load Format: Delivered directly to site for efficient offloading and immediate use on large groundwork areas.
- High Load Capacity: Forms a durable and stable base layer capable of supporting heavy vehicular or structural loads.
- Uniform Compaction: Graded composition ensures excellent interlock and compaction for long-term structural integrity.
- Specification Compliant: Manufactured and graded to Clause 803 of the Specification for Highway Works.
Applications
- Driveway and Road Foundations: Provides a compacted sub-base suitable for tarmac, block paving, or concrete surfacing.
- Car Parks and Access Routes: Forms a stable structural layer for heavy-use vehicular areas.
- Construction Platforms: Offers a level and load-bearing base for plant and machinery.
- Hard Landscaping Works: Used beneath patios, pathways, and garden structures.
- Large-Scale Groundworks: Suited to developments where bulk quantities are required for uniform surface preparation.
Installation Guidance
- Ground Preparation: Excavate and level the subgrade before laying the material.
- Layer Thickness: Spread in uniform layers, typically 100–150 mm thick, depending on design requirements.
- Compaction: Compact each layer thoroughly using a roller or vibrating plate until maximum density is achieved.
- Moisture Control: Lightly dampen material if required to aid compaction and reduce dust.
- Final Surface Check: Ensure even surface levels and firm compaction before applying surfacing materials.
Compliance & Performance
- Specification Standard: Conforms to the Department of Transport Specification for Highway Works, Clause 803.
- Material Composition: Blend of crushed rock or concrete aggregate typically ranging from 40mm down to dust.
- Load-Bearing Performance: Designed for use beneath highways, driveways, and heavy-duty paved surfaces.
- Important Note: Material is supplied loose and tipped on delivery; ensure access and clear tipping area before arrival.
