What is FA6 Trench Backfill in Illinois?
FA6 trench backfill Illinois is a fine aggregate material graded to meet IDOT Standard Specifications for granular pipe bedding, trench backfill, and utility corridor fill applications on Illinois highway and municipal infrastructure projects. FA6 through FA21 gradations are approved for bedding, trench backfill, and french drain applications under IDOT specifications. FA6 is a fine-grained, free-draining material that compacts readily around pipe zones and utility installations, making it a standard choice for storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, and conduit trench work across the state. Contractors working on IDOT-let projects or municipal utility work in Ogle County should verify specific gradation and source approval requirements with their project engineer prior to ordering.
