Construction Materials
Ministry of Transport Approved Aggregates – For Roads, Driveways, and Pathways
Road construction requires a lot of materials, and the type of material used depends on the project. In most cases, Ministry of Transport approved aggregates are required. Depending on the location and project size, a variety of aggregates may be required. These can range from:
- MOT Type 1 Sub Base
- Type 1 Aggregate
- Type 2 Aggregate
The Ministry of Transport has stringent requirements for road construction projects in the United Kingdom. This is because the roads are used by many different types of people every day, including domestic vehicles, light goods vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and more. The MOT sets standards for the quality and safety of road construction projects to ensure that everyone can use the roads safely.
When selecting aggregates for a road construction project, it is important to choose a type that meets the MOT requirements. The right aggregate will help to create a strong foundation for the road, which will improve overall safety and durability. Choosing the wrong aggregate can lead to problems down the road, so it is important to consult with an expert before making a decision.
