General Usage Guide:  
  
When used as a structural or stabilizing fill, the 3X1 Blast Furnace Slag should be placed on the prepared ground in lifts not exceeding 8” (200mm).   The total thickness of the 3X1 Blast Furnace Slag needed will depend on the ground conditions and the design loadings.  Consult the design plans or engineers recommendations.  3X1 Blast Furnace Slag can be used to provide support in areas of poor subgrade.
