INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS
Ultra-lightweight aggregate provides solutions for the challenges of today’s infrastructure projects. Foamed glass aggregate is ideal for projects that require fill to be placed over soft compressible soils or over areas with underground utilities. Large embankments can be built with low net surcharge due to the low unit weight and high friction angle of UL-FGA.
Retaining Walls & Bridge Abutments
• Lightweight fill behind retaining walls and wing walls
• Greatly reduces lateral load
• Easily excavated for placement or repair of utilities
• Pullout testing completed on various types
of reinforcement
• Free draining material
• Reduces settlement of embankments for
bridge approaches
