Quarry Type 1 MOT Limestone

Carboniferous, locally-quarried limestone – this is a very hard and durable material which is frost resistant. It is graded to Ministry of Transport Type 1 specification from 40mm down to dust. Its main use is as a sub-base material to create a solid foundation. When it is compacted, it will form a hard-level surface which can then be covered with tarmac, concrete or gravel. It is used extensively in road construction but can also be used in many other applications.
