Geofill LD (engineered fill) and Geofill LD Hybrid (controlled density fill) are excellent alternatives to traditional stone backfill in applications where access, cost or weight/load factors are a concern. This lightweight material offers a range of strengths, densities and set times to meet specific job requirements.
Other advantages over conventional fills include:
Load reduction (lateral and vertical)
No future settlement
Re-excavatable
Flowability – fills small voids
Lower cost
Nocompaction required
Ease of placement
Thermal insulation
Geofill LD and Geofill Hybrid are well suited for backfill applications including deep foundations, MSE/retaining walls, open cuts, and pipe embeddments.

Clark/Elsinore Rd Water System Perris, CA
Filling Abandoned 12” Pipe
Rebuilding the infrastructure of California’s 5th largest water district involved filling more than three miles of 12” abandoned water lines. The lengths of pipe to be filled ranged from 1,000 to 3,500 feet.
Geofill LD Class II was used because -- unlike CDF or sand cement slurry -- this flowable material can be pumped distances of up to one mile at low pressures without requiring multiple access points.
