The paper presents practical utilisation in the construction of a parking lot of compositions based on waste (phosphogypsum) from the wet process of orthophosphoric acid manufacture. The results of strength tests performed after half a year and after one and a half year of parking lot operation confirmed the feasibility, established earlier in laboratory tests, of utilising phosphogypsum mixes with fly ash and stabilising binder.
