What Is Road Base Material and Why Is It Important?
Road base material is a crucial component in constructing and maintaining durable and stable roadways. Typically composed of crushed stone, gravel, and various aggregates, road base is the foundational layer beneath asphalt or concrete surfaces, providing essential support and load distribution. Its primary function is to create a solid, level base that can withstand heavy traffic and environmental stresses, ensuring road surface longevity and structural integrity. Additionally, road base material aids in effective drainage, reducing the risk of water damage and erosion. Whether used in highway construction, local roads, or driveways, road base is fundamental to achieving a reliable, high-performance roadway infrastructure.
