About Leca

LECA (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate) is an advanced building material produced by heating natural clay to high temperatures, which causes it to expand into lightweight, resilient aggregates. This unique process results in durable, small, and porous particles that maintain structural integrity while being significantly lighter than traditional aggregates. LECA has become a preferred material in construction due to its adaptability and sustainability, finding use in various applications ranging from lightweight concrete to green roofs and drainage solutions. Its ability to meet the needs of modern construction has made it an essential choice for builders focused on performance and environmental responsibility.

The Dubai Global Connect (DGC) Kick-Off Building is a significant development located in Dubai South, United Arab Emirates. The project is commissioned by Dubai Global Connect DWC-LLC and is guided by the expertise of FUKSAS – Associated Consulting Engineers International (M/s. DAR) as the consulting firm. The construction is undertaken by Beaver Gulf Contracting LLC as the main contractor, with Transgulf Readymix Concrete Co. LLC serving as the ready-mix concrete supplier.

The concrete used in the project is designed to meet high-performance structural and durability requirements. It features a C40/50 grade (cylinder/cube), composed of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), and enhanced with 26% Fly Ash and 9% Microsilica (MS) to improve strength and sustainability. To achieve reduced weight and improved thermal properties, the mix incorporates 400 kilograms per cubic meter of LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate). The resulting dry density of the concrete mix is approximately 1800 ± 150 kilograms per cubic meter, making it suitable for a modern, efficient, and sustainable construction approach.
