Extending land into water often presents geotechnical challenges due to soft and muddy soil conditions. Leca LWA effectively addresses these issues by compensating and reducing the load on confining structures. Leca LWA is well-suited for use in quay and land extension designs, including sheet piles, sheet pile cells, and caisson structures. It is also ideal…
Floating Ecosystem Modules offer numerous benefits, such as habitat creation, urban waterscaping, water quality improvement, and wastewater treatment. The lightweight nature of Leca LWA not only enables the islands to float but also simplifies the assembly and installation of these structures. The unique shape and porous structure of Leca LWA promote plant root growth and…
The construction of embankments on weak and compressible soil deposits often results in soil consolidation and settlement due to the embankment’s weight. Factors such as the embankment’s height, the depth of the weak soil layer, and the soil strata’s consolidation properties can lead to significant settlements. These can create challenges for maintaining road evenness, functionality,…
When a fill structure is placed and compacted on a landscape, it generates additional loads, which are particularly significant in areas with soft soil subgrades. The load magnitude depends on the fill material’s density and thickness. These additional loads often lead to long-term settlement of the embankment or structure. The extent of settlement is proportional…
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…
In regions susceptible to mining subsidence or where ground conditions feature natural voids, culverts, or tunnels with a risk of collapse, reducing the overlying weight with Leca LWA provides an effective solution. This is especially crucial during tunnel construction, where unexpected voids or small cavities around the concrete may collapse onto the structure. Lightweight filling…
Constructing embankments on weak and compressible soil is a common challenge, as the embankment’s weight often causes soil consolidation and settlement. Thanks to the lightweight nature of Leca LWA, settlements in the transition zone between structures and roads or railways are significantly reduced or even eliminated. Moreover, the aggregate’s excellent drainage capacity ensures long-term load…
Leca LWA is an ideal choice as a lightweight aggregate for concrete products. Its low weight enables the production of lightweight masonry blocks with excellent insulation properties. Ready-mix and precast lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) can be manufactured in various densities, achieving compressive strengths of up to 70 MPa or more. Today, LWAC is widely applied…
Acoustic walls effectively reduce unwanted noise from traffic, railways, and industrial machinery.
A standard container can hold 25 & 55 cubic meters of Leca Aggregate, depending on packing and container size. What are F.O.B, CFR, C.I.F and Exwork terms in shipment as per Incoterms?
