| Description: |
|
An
open graded aggregate, produced by crushing, washing and screening high calcium or
dolomitic limestone. A white to light gray
colored sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water. The particles are sized from 1 1/2” (37.5mm)
to #4 (4.75mm). |

| General
Usage Guide: |
| |
| The 5G Limestone should be
placed 6”-18” (150mm-450mm) thick, depending upon ground conditions and design
loadings, in lifts not exceeding 8” (200mm). Prior
to the placement of any base material, the grade should be compacted and trimmed to the
design density & elevations and be free of any standing water and not in a frozen
condition. Care needs to be taken to minimize the amount of handling of the 5G Limestone as handling
operations will cause ‘dusting’ of the aggregates particles, increasing the
amount of material passing the #200
mesh (75mm
sieve). |
