Overview

About this product

Pipe bedding has one job: support the pipe uniformly so point loads never form. 7mm single-size screenings do it best, small enough to flow under and around the barrel with minimal compaction effort, clean enough to keep groundwater moving along the trench.

It’s the daily bread of sewer, stormwater and utility crews. For authority work we supply certified WSAA embedment grades (WSA 361 and related specs) with documentation; for everything else, clean 7mm bedding by the truckload, every load digitally docketed.
