Product Details

Scalpings consist of a mixture of particles ranging from 0/40mm, with a higher fine content compared to Type 1. This composition allows for effective compaction, making scalpings suitable for applications where a robust, but not heavily loaded, sub-base is required.

The presence of fines and occasional clay content means scalpings provide less interlock and load-bearing capability than Type 1, but they remain a practical choice for paths, driveways, car parks, and as a general fill where Type 1 specification is not necessary.

Scalpings should not be confused with road planings or asphalt-based materials, and are not permitted as the top layer in road construction. Produced to meet practical site requirements, scalpings offer contractors a reliable and economical solution for a wide range of groundwork and light-use sub-base applications.
