Scalpings

Scalpings are a well-graded sub-base aggregate, produced from quarried limestone or granite. Known for their versatility and cost-effectiveness, they are widely used as a light-use sub-base or backfill in paths, driveways, car parks, and general groundwork.

Product Details

Scalpings consist of a mixture of particles ranging from 0/40 mm, 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.
