What is MOT Type 1?

Abbreviated from Ministry of Transport Type 1, MOT Type 1 is probably the most popular aggregate in the construction industry and is commonly used in the construction of roads – hence the name.

As a granular crushed aggregate, it must conform to requirements set out by the Ministry of Transport – namely that it is between 0-40mm and made up of a range of crushed materials, including:

• Granite
• Limestone
• Gritstone
• Concrete
• Basalt
• Recycled materials including bricks and hardcore.

As it is incredibly strong, the right size, and has the necessary compressive strength, it is the go-to sublayer for roads, pavements, and driveways – among other projects.

Which projects need MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 is the ideal aggregate for the construction of roads, driveways, and walkways thanks to the varying particle sizes – these interlock and distribute weight evenly when compacted.

This creates a stable and durable hardcore base with excellent load-bearing capacity, perfectly suited to construction projects that must be durable and long-lasting, including but not limited to:

• Over-site fills
• Roads
• Artificial grass base
• Pavements and walkways
• Trench fills
• Driveways
• Haul roads and highways
• Garden paths and footpaths
• Car parks
• Patios and fire pits

MOT Type 1 in Wigan is also suitable for projects that require a final layer of asphalt, concrete, shingle, or block paving – making it one of the most versatile aggregates in use across the UK.
