Constructing embankments on weak and compressible soil deposits often leads to soil consolidation and settlement due to the embankment’s load. Depending on the embankment’s height, the depth of the weak soil, and the soil strata’s consolidation properties, these settlements can be significant, posing challenges to road evenness, functionality, and long-term durability.

The lightweight properties of Leca LWA help significantly reduce or even eliminate such settlements. Furthermore, its excellent drainage capacity ensures stable load distribution over time, minimizing the risk of failure or further settlement.
