  Load Reducing Fill


Recurring settlement issues at this bridge approach were solved by replacing a portion of existing soils beneath the approach slabs with Geofill LD Class II Cellular Concrete.

Because Geofill LD is lighter than traditional subgrade, it reduced the load on underlying soils to help prevent future settlement. Geofill LD Cellular Concrete can range in densities from 20 to 60 pcf.

MixOnSite is a nationwide contractor specializing in lightweight cellular concrete. We provide owners, engineers, and contractors with unique, cost effective solutions to their geotechnical and underground construction problems.

This new product is very similar to conventional cellular concrete in weight and strength. What makes this material unique is its ability to allow water to freely drain. Geofill LD Pervious has densities ranging from 20 to 30 PCF and strengths of 50 to 200 psi. It is primarily used as a load reducing fill where drainage is needed.
