Wet Mix
crushed stone
Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) — pre-graded, pre-moistened road base course produced ready to lay, spread, and compact. Conforms to MoRT&H Specifications for Roads and Bridges, Clause 406. Sold ex-works at our Chimakurthy crusher — customer arranges tippers.
About Wet Mix
Aggregate gradation matches MoRT&H Table 400-13. Optimum moisture content (OMC) is set at the crusher; mix is loaded into customer tippers at OMC ± 1.5%. Maximum dry density per modified Proctor compaction. CBR typically exceeds 80% at four-day soaked condition.
Where Wet Mix fits — and where it doesn't
Specifying the right aggregate size and grade saves cement, simplifies placement, and avoids rework. Below is a quick guide based on IS / MoRT&H norms and what we see ordered from our Chimakurthy crusher across Prakasam district.
