Thus, a cement concrete pavement is the most superior highway construction primarily from the point of view of strength and durability. The ingredients of the concrete mix, viz., the coarse aggregate (broken stone) and fine aggregate (sand) have to be selected carefully to satisfy the desirable properties for concrete-making.

In highway engineering, subbase is the layer of aggregate material laid on the subgrade, on which the base course layer is located. It may be omitted when there will be only foot traffic on the pavement, but it is necessary for surfaces used by vehicles. Subbase is often the main load-bearing layer of the pavement.Its role is to spread the load evenly over the subgrade.

The sub-base layer is often the main load-bearing layer of a pavement. It is designed to evenly spread the load of the paving, and any traffic thereon, to the sub-grade below. A well-constructed sub-base will aid drainage and prevent settlement and channelisation
MOT Type 1 otherwise known as DOT Type 1 is the most commonly used DfT approved sub-base in the construction sector. Named after the DfT specification for granular sub-base it must comply with the Specification for Highway Works, clause 803 (SHW 803). Made from crushed rock or recycled aggregate.
