Good quality base and sub-base material for road pavement construction is becoming increasingly scarce. Dolerite is one of the more abundant natural road building materials in South Africa. Yet, it seems that the road design and construction fraternity shy away from using it in favour of more expensive commercially produced crushed material – and so artificially increase the scarcity of natural...
