Overview

About this product

40mm capping does the same job as its 20mm sibling with more bite: the coarser grading keys into rubble and soft fill below, bridging weak spots while still trimming to a workable platform. It’s the standard first cap over deep or variable fills.

Used through subdivisions, industrial estates and road projects across Victoria, typically followed by a 20mm cap or directly by sub-base. Natural and recycled options by the truckload.

How much do you need?

As a guide, this material weighs around 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre. Multiply your area by the layer depth to get the volume, then by the density. Tell us the area and depth on the quote form and we will convert it to tonnes and price the delivery for you.

Worked example

100 m² at 200 mm deep = 20 m³ × ~2.1 t/m³

Good to know

Common questions

What is capping used for?
A coarse, durable layer placed over soft or variable subgrade to bridge it and create a stable working platform before pavement construction.
What size should I use?
Larger gradings such as 40mm bridge softer ground; 20mm suits thinner correction layers. We can advise to your geotechnical requirements.
How is it delivered, and can I track it?
We deliver Victoria-wide by tipper, truck and trailer or truck and quad depending on your access and quantity. Every load is GPS-tracked in NXT Control so you can see it from the weighbridge to your gate.
