Selecting the correct gravel for construction projects is essential to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance. Different applications require different aggregate sizes and properties.
For concrete production, 5–20mm aggregates are commonly used. For road base and drainage systems, larger sizes may be required. Key performance factors include particle shape, grading, and strength.
High-quality gravel should have low silt content, high density, and good resistance to crushing and abrasion. These characteristics ensure stability in both structural and non-structural applications.
By understanding project requirements and material specifications, contractors can select the most suitable aggregate for their construction needs.
