Open-graded asphalt

Open-graded asphalt is a type of paving material that contains more small, angular stones and has larger openings or voids within its surface. This design allows water to drain quickly through the pavement, reducing puddling and improving safety during rain. It's commonly used in areas like parking lots, driveways, and roads where quick drainage and noise reduction are important. Because of its structure, open-graded asphalt tends to be more flexible and resistant to cracking caused by temperature changes. Overall, it enhances durability, safety, and environmental performance by promoting efficient water runoff.
