Where Can You Use Type 1 Granite?
Type 1 granite is a widely used subbase material due to its strength and durability. It’s essential for a wide range of construction projects. Here are some of its key applications:
Type 1 Granite in Road Construction: Type 1 granite forms a robust base for asphalt or concrete overlays, making it an ideal component in building roads, highways, and motorways.a
Type 1 Granite in Parking Areas: Constant traffic in parking areas means you need an incredibly strong subbase. Type 1 granite can be used as a foundation for hard stands, ensuring stability and preventing surface cracks.
Type 1 Granite in Railway Tracks: As a crushed aggregate, type 1 granite provides railway tracks with the stability they need to withstand the heavy load of trains.
Type 1 Granite in Building Foundations: Buildings need a strong foundation to prevent structural damage and sinking. Type 1 granite is often used to create this solid base for residential and commercial buildings as well as other similar structures.
Why Type 1 Granite?
Type 1 granite is a top choice for construction and landscaping projects due to its durability, compaction properties, and reliable load-bearing capacity. Here are some of the primary benefits of using this aggregate as a subbase material:
Superior to Crushed Concrete & Brick: Granite is one of the hardest natural materials available, making type 1 granite an exceptionally strong subbase compared to many other aggregates.
Versatility: You can use type 1 granite across a variety of applications, such as driveways, roads, foundations, parking lots, and railway tracks. This makes it a top choice for many contractors and builders.
Strong Structure: Type 1 granite is not a permeable subbase material, meaning that it won’t allow water to pass through. This compaction helps maintain the structural integrity of the project and keeps it intact for a long time.
Load-Bearing Capacity: MOT type 1 granite is designed to handle significant weight without causing cracks or surface damage. It’s highly resistant to compression, preventing structural changes over time.
