53mm Road Metal — WBM, Soling & Base-Course Aggregate
WBM base courses, GSB top size, soling, gabions and ballast-type uses.
Latest 53mm Jalli rate in Chennai
53 எம்எம் சாலை ஜல்லி — WBM, சோலிங், அடித்தள வேலைகளுக்கு.

Buyers call it 53mm, 60mm, 63mm or simply road metal: the large single-size stone used in water-bound macadam base courses (MoRTH 404 Grading 2 = 63–45 mm, Grading 3 = 53–22.4 mm), as the 53 mm top size of GSB and WMM, for soling and hard-core under floors and pavements, for gabions and rip-rap, and in railway-ballast-type applications.
53mm is not an IS 383 concrete nominal size, so it is screened on request for road and soling work rather than stocked for concrete; tell us the grading your contract specifies and we set the screen decks to match.
Where Blue Metal 53mm is used
- WBM base (MoRTH 404): Grading 2 (63–45 mm) and Grading 3 (53–22.4 mm)
- GSB Gradings II–VI and WMM (53 mm top size)
- Soling / hard-core under floors and pavements; boulder soling
- Gabions, rip-rap and slope protection
- Track-ballast-type and drainage applications

Do you supply screenings with WBM metal?
Yes — crusher dust or 11.2 mm / 13.2 mm screenings (Type A/B) can be loaded with the coarse aggregate for WBM layers.
