This product contains a combination of materials such as brick, concrete, granite, and limestone. The materials come from demolition sites in and around Islington. Each batch contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. 

Recycled Type 1 sub bases have excellent load-bearing qualities. They can hold driveways and even car parks.

Like regular Type 1, MOT Type 2 contains limestone and granite. Our drivers collect the pieces from quarries around Islington and grind them down to 40mm chunks. They put the materials in an industrial-sized net to split the sizes. 

This batch does not contain any small pieces of debris or chunks. We throw all the fine pieces away and only 40mm chunks remain.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

We sell a few different screened products. 

This type of screened concrete comes from quarries. Our drivers scoop up the materials, grind the pieces to 40mm chunks, and screen them. 

Screening is a manufacturing process that separates different sizes. We place the materials in a large industrial net which separates the big and small pieces. Only 40mm pieces remain in this batch. 

Concrete floor screening is the first stage in a lot of construction projects. It can support a number of formations.

What is a sub base?

Sub bases are construction staples. Contractors need to create bases for all sorts of formations such as driveways, car parks, and motorways. 

Heavy formations need strong bases. Crushed concrete, limestone, and granite have excellent load-bearing qualities. 

Even a thin layer of crushed materials has excellent load-bearing qualities. Contractors need to lay and roll the materials in place. Once the materials have been set, labourers can start creating their formations.

We do not sell crushed concrete or any other material by the truckload. All our prices are based on tons.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors in Islington use our materials for lots of different applications.

  • Drainage systems – To create drainage systems, contractors need materials that have high flow rates. Screened crushed concrete is a good option for these systems. Screening is a manufacturing process that splits big and small materials. We throw the small materials away, and only big chunks remain. Liquids can pass through this product without dislodging small bits of debris. 
  • Sub bases – Most of our customers buy crushed materials to create sub bases. MOT Type 1 sub bases are very strong and have excellent load-bearing qualities. Any product that has the acronym MOT in the title is approved for use in transport bases. 
  • Bulk-fill tasks – Contractors have lots of bulk-fill tasks to complete on typical construction sites. This sort of task does not necessarily need the most expensive materials. We source, test, and sell 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. Contractors buy this product when they need reliable, affordable bulk-fill materials.

What is finer Type 1 MOT or Type 2 MOT?

MOT Type 1 hardcore contains a range of different sizes. Customers can expect to find everything from small pieces to 40mm chunks in this batch. 

MOT Type 2 is very different. Once we have ground the materials down to 40mm chunks, we filter all the small pieces out. This product only contains 40mm chunks. 

Type 1 is much better for customers who need fine products.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Yes! All crushed materials drain. The rate that materials drain is called the flow rate. The higher the flow rate, the faster liquids can pass through the material. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains all kinds of hardcore materials. It contains pieces of concrete, limestone, and granite that range from dust to 40mm. This product has a low flow rate. Liquids that pass through it will collect pieces of debris. 

Screened crushed concrete has a high flow rate. Screened products only contain big chunks of materials, which means that liquids can pass through fast.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Under the right circumstances, crushed concrete will harden. Concrete is already a hardcore material, but it will continue to harden in a sub base. 

To create sub bases, contractors have to lay and roll their crushed materials. Rolling concrete creates a thin, even layer of materials. It also forces the materials to compact and harden.

Once the sub base is complete, labourers can start building structures. The weight of the structures forces the materials to compact and harden even more.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Crushed concrete has a few dangerous qualities that contractors need to know about. 

Concrete has a high alkali content. When liquids pass through concrete they absorb the alkali and become leachates. Leachates are dangerous because they can pass harmful chemicals onto other materials and even people. To avoid this problem, contractors can put pH controls in place. 

Concrete particles can also become airborne. If labourers inhale concrete particles, they could face long-term health issues. The only way to avoid this is to consistently wear masks.
