FREE DRAIN

Roadways supplies high-quality 8–28mm free-draining recycled aggregate for civil engineering contractors, groundworkers and builders who need a high-performance, open-graded drainage material. This newly introduced low and zero fines aggregate is manufactured at our Hailsham depot from the same clean, controlled recycled source as our certified Type 1 and 6F5 materials.

By choosing this recycled drainage stone, projects can be up to 20% more cost-effective compared to traditional 4–20mm primary quarried aggregate. It offers a highly sustainable solution that helps contractors meet strict corporate Scope 3 carbon reduction targets while maintaining excellent permeability.

Technical specifications and compliance:

  • Compliance: Produced in strict accordance with BS EN 13242 standards for aggregates used in civil engineering and road construction.
  • SuDS suitability: Fully optimised for sustainable drainage systems, making it suitable for attenuation and drainage layers beneath porous asphalt or permeable block paving, subject to client design specifications.
  • Permeability performance: Cleanly screened to eliminate fine particles, creating an open-graded structure that maximises water flow and prevents clogging.

Best used for:

  • Permeable drainage layers directly beneath porous asphalt surfaces.
  • Structural drainage layers beneath permeable block paving systems.
  • A direct sustainable substitute for traditional 4–20mm primary quarried drainage stone.
  • Comprehensive free-draining sub-base applications.
