25mm Ferricrete

Formula Transport offers superior quality 25mm Ferricrete that can be purchased throughout Perth. This is a tough and robust gravel with larger particles that are best suited for heavy and high-traffic usage applications. Due to its coarser particles, it provides excellent strength and stability after compaction. Hence, this makes it an optimal solution for the construction of rural driveways and hardstand surfaces where durability and longevity are mandatory requirements. Being extensively employed in civil, agricultural and industrial sites, this type of gravel ensures a strong and tough surface capable of enduring any vehicle or equipment that can be frequently driven over it. 

With its unique reddish-brown color caused by the presence of iron, 25mm Ferricrete offers not only functionality but also aesthetic appearance. Its structure ensures good water drainage, thus providing its integrity during prolonged usage periods. The price is $385.00 per m³.

What Is 25mm Ferricrete?

Ferricrete is also called laterite or ironstone gravel, which is the product of natural deposits of iron within the soil. It is characterized by a unique rust-red or golden-brown color, which results from the high iron content within the material, giving it a unique earthy color which is suitable for both rural and domestic applications. The 25mm grade of ferricrete is our coarsest and strongest variety.

Why Choose the 25mm Grade?

Because of the greater particle size of the 25mm Ferricrete, it becomes very strong structurally when laid and compacted. Unlike smaller gravels that break easily even when compacted, 25mm Ferricrete forms an extremely dense structure when laid and compressed, making it highly durable and resistant to traffic and wear. For this reason, 25mm Ferricrete is especially suited for:

• Rural driveways and access roads
• Hardstand bases for machinery and equipment
• As a sub-base beneath paving, concrete slabs and asphalt
• Farm and agricultural roads
• Sites requiring robust ground foundations

Performance You Can Rely On

Upon being spread and compressed, the 25mm Ferricrete becomes a strong and stable layer with good load distribution and longevity. It is less likely to rut or accumulate water when compared to softer filling materials. As it meets Western Australian road construction requirements, you can be sure that it will act just as engineers expect it to, whether it supports your family vehicle in the driveway or your farm vehicle on a farm track.

Practical and Visually Appealing

In addition to the robustness, the 25mm Ferricrete provides an inherently pleasing appearance for any piece of property. The naturally reddish-brown color scheme is easily blended into rural or semi-rural settings, making it a popular choice for properties which need a practical surface that looks good as well. Maintenance is simple, as only periodic topping up is necessary.
