Specified roadbase

A well-graded material consisting of coarse and fine aggregates designed to meet nominated specifications and maximise compaction performance. 

 

Roadbase pile by side of road

Best for

  • Road and pavement construction
  • Infrastructure projects requiring authority compliance
  • Base and sub-base layers

Applications

  • Road and pavement base layers
  • Civil and infrastructure projects
  • Hardstand areas, drainage and backfill

Features & benefits

  • Supplied to nominated specifications (e.g. state road authority requirements)
  • Designed to meet grading, plasticity and durability criteria
  • Well-graded blend to maximise compaction and load distribution
  • Available in natural and recycled material types

Supply format

  • Bulk

Cement treated roadbase

A controlled mixture of crushed rock, fines, cement and water, blended to improve strength, durability and load-bearing performance.

 

Best for

  • High-load pavements and heavy traffic areas
  • Industrial hardstands and working platforms
  • Projects requiring enhanced durability

Applications

  • Road and pavement construction
  • Hardstand and industrial surfaces
  • Sub-base layers requiring additional strength

Features & benefits

  • Increased strength and stiffness compared to unbound materials
  • Improved durability and resistance to deformation
  • Controlled blending for consistent performance
  • Available using natural or recycled crushed rock inputs

Supply format

  • Bulk

Unspecified crushed rock

A graded crushed rock material supplied without a nominated specification, suitable for general construction and cost-effective applications.

 

Best for

  • General construction and site works
  • Projects where formal specification is not required
  • Cost-sensitive applications

Applications

  • Drainage and backfill
  • Hardstand areas and access tracks
  • Under concrete slabs and asphalt

Features & benefits

  • Well-graded material for effective compaction
  • Flexible supply to suit project requirements
  • Lower cost alternative to specified roadbase
  • Available in a range of sizes and gradings

Supply format

  • Bulk

Blended recycled roadbase

A graded material produced from a blend of recycled construction materials, typically crushed concrete combined with processed hard rock.

 

Reclaimed road base

Best for

  • Sustainable construction projects
  • Civil works requiring cost-effective materials
  • Lower sub-base and fill applications

Applications

  • Road base and sub-base layers
  • Backfill and site preparation
  • Hardstands and slab foundations

Features & benefits

  • Incorporates recycled materials to reduce reliance on virgin resources
  • Comparable performance to natural roadbase in many applications
  • Supports sustainability and circular economy outcomes
  • Can be supplied with or without specification depending on project needs

Supply format

  • Bulk

Rubbles

Coarse, irregular material made up of broken concrete, stone and brick, typically used for bulk fill and general construction applications.

 

Rubbles

Best for

  • Bulk fill and site preparation
  • Demolition and civil works
  • Temporary access and stabilisation

Applications

  • Fill material for site levelling
  • Temporary access tracks
  • Bulk construction and civil works

Features & benefits

  • Supplied as coarse, irregular material
  • Includes broken brick, stone and concrete from demolition sources
  • Cost-effective solution for bulk fill applications
  • Suitable for general construction and non-structural uses

Supply format

  • Bulk

Typical uses across construction and infrastructure

Crushed rock and roadbase materials are widely used across:

  • Road and pavement construction
  • Driveways and access roads
  • Hardstand and industrial areas
  • Subdivisions and civil works
  • Drainage and pipe bedding

These materials provide a compacted, load-distributing foundation layer beneath asphalt, concrete and other surfaces, supporting long-term performance and durability.

Technical specifications

Boral crushed rock and roadbase products are manufactured to meet relevant Australian Standards and state road authority specifications, with performance criteria including grading, compaction, durability and strength characteristics.

Regional specifications and availability

Boral crushed rock and roadbase can be supplied to meet relevant state and authority specifications, including Transport for NSW, VicRoads and Queensland TMR requirements. Availability and specification compliance may vary by quarry location.

Frequently asked questions

Roadbase is a compacted mixture of crushed rock and fines that forms a stable foundation beneath roads, pavements, concrete slabs and driveways.

Specified roadbase is produced to meet defined engineering specifications, while unspecified crushed rock is supplied for general applications without formal compliance requirements.

Cement treated roadbase is used where additional strength, durability and load-bearing capacity are required, such as heavy traffic areas and industrial pavements.

Yes. Recycled roadbase can provide comparable performance to natural materials in many applications while supporting sustainability and cost efficiencies.

Key considerations include load requirements, drainage, specification compliance, material availability and budget.
