Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
How deep?

Ordering MOT Type 1 for Wellington: FAQs
Can you tip it loose?
For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Wellington?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
How much MOT Type 1 do I need?
Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Wellington?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
