Drainage Gravel Recycled 40mm #

Description

Recycled Drainage Gravel 40mm

Handle extreme drainage conditions with Recycled Drainage Gravel 40mm, a coarse aggregate designed for high-flow drainage, large-scale backfilling and heavy-duty site applications.

Produced from crushed recycled concrete, this oversized material creates maximum void space, allowing water to move rapidly through the system. It is ideal for projects requiring fast drainage and bulk water management at a cost-effective price point.

Available Sizes (Recycled Range)

This product is available in multiple recycled sizes to suit different applications:

• 10mm Recycled Drainage Gravel — Ideal for general drainage and pipe backfill
• 20mm Recycled Drainage Gravel — Suitable for bulk drainage and retaining walls
• 40mm Recycled Drainage Gravel — Best for high-flow, large-scale drainage applications

Key Features & Benefits

Maximum drainage capacity — Large 40mm stones create open voids for rapid water movement.

Cost-effective solution — A budget-friendly alternative to natural drainage gravel.

Environmentally friendly — Made from recycled concrete, reducing landfill and supporting sustainable construction.

Heavy-duty performance — Suitable for large drainage systems and demanding site conditions.

Versatile application — Can be used for drainage, backfilling, erosion control and site stabilisation.

What It’s Used For

High-Flow Drainage Systems — Ideal for areas with large volumes of water or runoff.

Behind Retaining Walls (Bulk Fill) — Used where maximum drainage and minimal blockage are critical.

Drainage Trenches & Pits — Suitable for deep trenches and large-scale drainage zones.

Erosion Control — Helps stabilise areas prone to water movement and soil displacement.

Site Access & Stabilisation — Commonly used on construction sites for drainage and ground support.

Why It Performs Best in High-Flow Areas

Recycled Drainage Gravel 40mm performs exceptionally well due to its large particle size, allowing it to:

• Create maximum void space for rapid drainage
• Prevent clogging in heavy water flow conditions
• Reduce hydrostatic pressure behind structures
• Maintain stability in demanding environments

This makes it the top choice for extreme drainage applications, where smaller aggregates may restrict flow.

Important Product Characteristics

Large 40mm aggregate — Designed for bulk drainage, not fine or precision work.

Very high void ratio — Excellent drainage, but minimal compaction compared to smaller sizes.

Recycled material content — May include mixed colours, textures and minor impurities.

Not suitable for visible decorative areas — Best used in non-visible or structural applications.

Installation Tips

• Use for deep drainage zones and high-flow applications
• Combine with ag pipe and geofabric for optimal performance
• Install at appropriate depth depending on project requirements
• Avoid over-compaction to maintain drainage efficiency
