Ground-pressure relieving lightweight
(avoids, regulates or minimises subsiding)
PROPERTIES
- Constant low mass, excellent interlinking between grains
- High compression strength, excellent load distribution and drainage
- Resistant to chemicals, as well as insects and rodents
BENEFITS
- Backfill of bridge abutments to match subsiding between the bridge abutments and road embankment and for reducing of thrusts
- Removal of slope face irregularities
- No problem with overhead installation; resists subsiding
INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE
- Lay geotextile / geogrid
- Distribute and compact foam glass gravel with conventional equipment
- Cover with the geotextile / geogrid
- … and ready
