  • Granite is generally recommended over limestone for all drainage applications. Granite is both more chemically stable, and more resistant to crushing over time.
  • Granular material for underdrains should be clear crushed 20 or 50 mm diameter stone graded in accordance with ASTM D 2940.
  • The 20 mm clear crushed aggregate permits the use of an overlaid layer of high performance bedding (HPB) as a choker layer.
  • The void space ratio should be > 0.35 (or > 35%)

All gravel should meet the following criteria:

  • Maximum wash loss of 0.5%
  • Minimum durability index of 35
  • Maximum abrasion of 10% for 100 revolutions and maximum of 50% for 500 revolutions
