IBAA

Sustainable Construction with Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate

Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (IBAA) is a recycled material produced from incinerator bottom ash. The process involves removing much of the metal content and preparing the aggregate into various sizes for construction use. IBAA has been a widely accepted sustainable option in the UK and across Europe for many years. It offers a cost-effective solution while complying with both European and British Standards.

IBAA's Adherence to British and European Standards

IBAA meets the rigorous standards set by European and British regulations, including sections of the Specification for Highway Works (SHW) 600 and 800 series. This ensures its suitability as a sub-base and capping material, performing comparably to primary materials in construction projects. Users can confidently select IBAA knowing it adheres to established quality requirements.

Practical Uses of IBAA in Construction Projects

IBAA is commonly utilised in various construction scenarios as a sub-base and capping material. Its applications extend to road construction and other infrastructural projects where it can be used effectively as a constituent of granular materials. Compliance with SHW 600 and 800 series standards further underscores its versatility in sustainable construction practices.

Environmental Impact: Choosing IBAA for Eco-Friendly Builds

Opting for recycled materials such as IBAA helps reduce the demand for virgin resources, supporting environmental sustainability. Over the past decade, more than five million tonnes of IBAA have been used in numerous applications, cementing its role in eco-friendly construction initiatives. This choice not only benefits the environment but also provides a reliable material for various projects.

Ordering IBAA and Preparing Your Site

Purchasing IBAA from Gravel Base allows you to contribute to sustainable construction efforts. For optimal performance, ensure proper site preparation. A well-prepared base is essential to maximise the effectiveness of IBAA in your project. This attention to detail will help enhance the overall success of your construction endeavour.
