Tonnage can be derived from volume
Volume is calculated in m³ (length x width x depth). 1 m³ = 1.5 t – 2.2 t of crushed stone depending on the grading and degree of compaction; 2.1 tonnes of Type 1 = 1 m³.
1 m³ of well compacted scalpings is heavier than 1 m³ of 75mm clean stone (consider the amount of air spaces!). Our aggregates are always supplied loose on either 6-wheeler (16T) or 8-wheeler (20T) lorries. Collected or delivered — minimum load 1 tonne.

Build with Confidence - Quality Asphalt Aggregates from Morris & Perry Quarry
Asphalt aggregate plays a crucial role in the composition and durability of asphalt mixtures, serving as the backbone that provides strength and stability to pavements.
Composed of various materials like crushed stone, gravel, sand, or recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), this aggregate is carefully selected for its size and gradation to ensure optimal performance. The blend of different sizes allows for better interlocking between particles, which enhances load-bearing capacity and minimizes deformation under traffic stress.
In addition to structural integrity, asphalt aggregates also influence roads’ surface texture and skid resistance, contributing to overall safety. Moreover, these aggregates can be tailored with additives or coatings to improve adhesion with bitumen—resulting in longer-lasting surfaces that resist cracking and weathering over time.
This multifaceted utility makes asphalt aggregate essential in paving projects ranging from residential driveways to extensive highway systems.
