What is a sub base?

Sub bases are the first stage in a lot of construction projects. They can be made from lots of different hardcore materials. We sell MOT Type 1 and concrete floor screening which are both popular for sub bases. 

Contractors lay the materials and roll them. Rolling the materials makes them compact into a cohesive, flat base. 

Bases have to be 4 or more inches tall. Even a 5-inch base can hold heavy structures. Once the base is level, labourers can use it as a workstation to build formations. Motorways, car parks, and driveways are just a few of the structures that crushed concrete sub bases can support.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors buy crushed materials because they are very versatile. They can fulfil lots of different tasks on construction sites. 

Contractors use our materials in the following ways. 

  • Sub bases – Sub bases act as the load-bearing layer that goes underneath heavy formations. Even a thin layer of crushed concrete or MOT Type 1 can handle motorways, driveways, and car parks. Contractors have to simply place and roll the materials.  
  • Drainage systems – Drainage systems need to have high flow rates. Liquids need to pass through the system without being obstructed. MOT Type 2 is perfect for drainage systems because it only contains 40mm chunks.
  • Bulk-fill tasks – Contractors often have a lot of bulk-fill tasks to complete. These sorts of tasks need a large number of hardcore materials. Our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are affordable and sturdy, which makes them perfect for bulk-fill projects.

Will crushed concrete compact?

If contractors use crushed concrete to create sub bases the materials will compact.

Sub bases are layers of crushed materials. The materials are placed and rolled very thin. Some of the strongest sub bases are just 5 inches. 

When contractors roll the materials, they force them to compact. We also sell crushed limestone, granite, and aggregates. All these materials compact under pressure. 

If contractors use our crushed materials for drainage systems, they will not compact.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Some crushed concrete products drain and others do not. We sell lots of kinds of crushed products. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains a combination of hardcore materials such as concrete, limestone, and granite. The materials in the batch range from dust to 40mm. This product has a low flow rate, which means that liquids pass through the materials slowly. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm pieces of limestone and granite. We screen the materials and separate the big pieces from the small pieces. This product has a high flow rate, which means that liquids pass through the materials quickly.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Lots of our customers buy crushed concrete to create sub bases. When crushed materials are rolled they flatten and harden in place. 

We also sell ready mix concrete, which is much harder than crushed materials.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

When water passes through crushed concrete, a leachate forms. Crushed concrete has a high alkaline content. The leachate contains substances that are extracted from the concrete. The substances can be dangerous, which means that contractors have to implement pH safety controls. 

Concrete particles can also become airborne during the sourcing process. If builders and contractors do not wear masks, they could inhale enough concrete particles to make themselves ill.

Can I talk to someone about safety advice before the delivery? 

Customers can always call us about health and safety. 

We work hard to make our services as safe as possible, but all our customers work on different construction sites. Contractors are responsible for ensuring that their sites are safe and that they meet industry regulations.
