Product Description

Recycled Type 1 Unbound Mixture is a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to primary aggregates, produced from processed construction and demolition waste such as crushed concrete, brick, and asphalt. It is graded to achieve similar performance characteristics to standard Type 1, forming a dense, stable sub-base when compacted. This material is widely used across construction and civil engineering projects where structural performance is required alongside improved environmental credentials. It offers reliable load-bearing capability while helping to reduce landfill waste and the demand for virgin materials. Key Features Manufactured from recycled construction materials Well-graded with fines for excellent compaction Strong load-bearing performance Environmentally responsible and sustainable Cost-effective alternative to primary Type 1 Typical Applications Road and pavement sub-bases Driveways and car parks Hardstandings and yards Temporary access roads General construction fill and foundations When properly compacted, Type 1 creates a strong interlocking structure with excellent load distribution, making it the industry standard for general construction and civil engineering works. Unlike free-draining materials, the presence of fines helps lock the aggregate together, providing durability and resistance to movement under traffic. Key Features Well-graded unbound aggregate with fines Compacts to a dense, load-bearing layer Excellent stability and durability Suitable for heavy traffic applications Compliant with MOT Type 1 / SHW Clause 803 Typical Applications Road and highway sub-bases Driveways and car parks Footpaths and pavements Industrial yards and hardstandings Foundations beneath concrete slabs and block paving Type 1 Unbound Mixture is typically laid and compacted in layers to achieve the required strength and performance, forming a reliable base for both flexible and rigid surface courses. This makes Type 3 Sub-Base ideal for use in SuDS-compliant developments, permeable pavements, and areas prone to standing water. It provides a strong, free-draining foundation that reduces the risk of frost damage, settlement, and surface failure over time. Key Features Open-graded aggregate with minimal fines Excellent drainage performance High load-bearing capability when compacted Helps prevent water pooling and frost heave Compliant with UK highway and civil engineering standards Typical Applications Permeable paving systems Car parks and driveways Roads and access tracks Hardstandings and yards Foundations requiring drainage control Type 3 Sub-Base is commonly used as a lower sub-base layer, often beneath permeable surface courses or alongside geotextile membranes, ensuring long-term performance in both commercial and residential construction projects.
