Lightweight aggregate fills are approximately half the weight of common fills. This advantage, coupled with its predictable high internal friction angle, can also reduce lateral forces by more than one-half. It has been effectively used to solve numerous geotechnical engineering problems and to convert unstable soft soil into usable land. Lightweight fill also provides permanent non-degradable insulation around water lines and steam lines, and other thermally sensitive elements. Expanded shale, clay and slate lightweight aggregate, ESCS, is a reliable and economical geotechnical solution.
Expanded Shale, Clay and Slate (ESCS) ceramic lightweight aggregate is providing new, consistent and cost effective options to address environmental concerns about the threat of storm water to our clean water supply. ESCS provides design flexibility for storm water management programs in meeting this environmental crisis. ESCS offers low-maintenance solutions that meet existing and proposed government regulations without the use of chemicals, specialized equipment or major facility upgrades. On-site storm water management contributes toward LEED green building certification credit.
