Lower Northwest Interceptor
Sacramento, CA
  Annular Space Grouting


This project consisted of a 19-mile sewage conveyance pipeline and pump station system that required micro-tunneling methods to install the new lines anywhere pipe could not be installed in an open-cut trench, such as under the Sacramento River or I-80.

The micro-tunneling operation was completed by filling the annular space around the pipe with Geofill LD cellular concrete to prevent corrosion and movement. This flowable material also reduced potential flotation or collapse of the carrier pipe.

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.

MixOnSite offers complete installation services including technical mix
design support and development. Our experienced crews utilize
state-of-the-art equipment to produce and install high quality lightweight cellular concrete and other specialty materials on-site
for a wide variety of construction applications.

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.
