Boral supplies both specified and non‑specified recycled road base to suit different civil, infrastructure and construction applications. Understanding the difference helps ensure the right product is selected for performance, compliance and cost requirements.
Recycled road base is produced from processed construction and demolition materials and can be supplied to suit authority specifications or general construction needs, depending on the application.
What is the difference between specified and non‑specified recycled road base?
Specified recycled road base
Specified recycled road base is tested and supplied to meet defined authority or project specifications. These products are typically used on projects where compliance with road authority, council or infrastructure standards is required.
Specified recycled road base is suitable for:
- Road and pavement construction
- Civil and infrastructure projects
- Applications requiring documented testing and compliance
Availability and specifications vary by product and location.
Non‑specified recycled road base
Non‑specified recycled road base is a general‑purpose recycled material that is not supplied to a governing authority specification. It is commonly used where formal certification is not required.
Non‑specified recycled road base is suitable for:
- Hardstand and access areas
- Temporary works
- Low‑risk or non‑structural applications
These products offer a practical and cost‑effective recycled option where specification compliance is not mandatory.
