Low Density Cellular Concrete Specialists

New Yankee Stadium
Bronx, NY

Load Reducing Backfill

A portion of the new Yankee Stadium was being built above a subway tunnel that was not engineered to support additional weight.

The solution was to replace 30,000 cubic yards of top soil (120pcf) with Geofill LD Class II material weighing 29pcf. This allowed the stadium to be built over the subway without adding weight. Geofill LD required no compaction, is re-excavatable and eliminates future settlement.

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. Read more...
