​

Our lightweight volcanic aggregate is engineered to solve complex geotechnical challenges by reducing load, improving stability, and enhancing long-term performance. Produced from high-quality natural volcanic material, this aggregate offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative to other fill materials in projects where weight or ground conditions are critical factors.

 

Key Benefits

• Reduced Dead Load and Lateral Forces: Lower unit weight decreases dead load and lateral forces by more than half 

• Improved Slope Stability: High internal friction angle makes itIdeal for embankments, retaining walls, and steep grade transitions

• Exceptional Thermal Value: High insulation value provides necessary thermal stability around sensitive water structures, lines and other thermally sensitive elements

• Excellent Drainage: Naturally porous structure promotes rapid water movement and reduces hydrostatic pressure

• Ease of Handling & Placement: Lightweight material improves constructability and reduces equipment strain

• Durable & Long-Lasting: Resistant to degradation, weathering, and freeze-thaw cycles

Applications:

MSE Walls, Bulkheads, Landscape and Plaza Fills, Bridge Approach Fills, Insulating Backfill, Water Front Structures, Fill Over Soft Soil & Marshlands, Water Treatment Facilities
