Recycled Type 1 sub bases can hold almost any building formation. Contractors often buy batches of this product when they want to create affordable sub bases for car parks, paths, and even motorways.

Lots of our customers buy this type of MOT for drainage tasks. It does not contain dust particles, so there is no chance of them blocking the system. MOT Type 2 is also perfect for sub bases.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened crushed concrete undergoes one more manufacturing process. We collect concrete from quarries and crush it into 40mm pieces. Then, we run the concrete through a net which removes the smaller pieces of concrete.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Most contractors use our materials for sub bases and drainage systems. 

20mm crushed concrete is often added to other batches of concrete that contain larger pieces. By adding 20mm concrete to 75mm concrete, contractors can create stronger sub bases. The small pieces fill in the crevices between the larger pieces. 

MOT Type 1 sub bases can hold heavy structures such as motorways and car parks. This is one of the most popular types of MOT.

Recycled Type 1 MOT is an affordable alternative to MOT Type 1. We also recommend this type of MOT for sub bases. 

MOT Type 2 sub bases are also strong and long-lasting, but this product is mostly installed in drainage systems. It does not contain dust particles, which means that nothing can block the system. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are perfect for bulk-fill projects. These batches contain a combination of hardcore materials. 

Will crushed concrete compact?

Crushed concrete can compact if it is placed under the right circumstances. 

Most of our customers buy concrete for sub bases. Once builders have placed the concrete they must roll it. This process causes the concrete to move closer together and compact.

When the sub base has been set, contractors can start building on top. Sub bases can hold all sorts of building formations. Common formations include paths, driveways, and even patios. The weight of these structures forces the materials to compact.

If contractors use our concrete in loose-fill tasks it will not compact. 

What is MOT?

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. 

So, what is the Ministry of Transport? 

It is a Government department that was first created in 1960. It is responsible for the condition of the roads across the UK.

Construction professionals will be aware of building materials that are called Type 1 MOT, Type 2 MOT, and so on. The Ministry of Transport allows manufacturers to use the acronym in the title of products that are approved for use in the construction of motorways, pavements, and sub bases.

Does crushed concrete drain?

This is an important consideration for contractors all over Letchworth Garden City. 

Different materials have varying flow rates. Flow rates tell us how quickly liquids pass through materials. The higher the flow rate, the quicker the liquids pass through the material. 

MOT Type 1 contains pieces of limestone and granite that range from dust to 40mm. It does not have a high flow rate. The smaller chunks and pieces of dust stop liquids before they can pass through the structure. 

MOT Type 2 is sometimes called Clean MOT. We filter all the bits of fine dust out so that only 40mm chunks remain. This type of MOT has a high flow rate. Liquids are not obstructed by smaller pieces of concrete. 

Call 01992 635454 for more information.

Will crushed concrete harden?

A lot of contractors in Letchworth Garden City use crushed concrete for sub bases. Batches of Recycled Type 1 MOT and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain 40mm chunks of concrete. Concrete is already a hardcore material, but it will become harder once it is laid in a base. 

Ready mix concrete is much smoother and stronger than crushed hardcore materials.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Any building materials can be toxic if they are not handled correctly. 

Concrete is not harmful in itself, but when it is broken in half the dust particles can become airborne. If inhaled, the dust particles can be harmful. They can cause long-term lung problems. 

The same is true of limestone and granite. We collect all these materials from quarries and demolition sites. Our staff use industrial machines to break the materials away from quarries and formations. They wear masks to prevent themselves from inhaling dust particles. 

When our materials make it to your site most of the dust will have already been released. However, we still encourage contractors, builders, and homeowners to wear protective masks.
