Geofill LD
Specifically formulated for geotechnical and underground applications, Geofill LD cellular (foam) concrete is a low density cementitious material that contains no aggregates.
Densities and strengths can be formulated to match individual project needs.

Geofill LD Material Characteristics:
Low Density
With Geofill LD, load reduction can be achieved without sacrificing strength or stability making it ideal for reducing vertical loads over weak soils or underlying structures and lateral loads against MSE Panels and retaining walls.
Excavatable
Ease of re-excavation makes Geofill LD an ideal choice for open cut backfill projects when weight is an important consideration.
Highly Flowable
This is an excellent material for completely filling abandoned lines or annular spaces due to its self leveling characteristic.
High Bearing Capacity
Lightweight, yet stronger than many soils or compacted fills, Geofill LD is frequently used as an embankment and bridge approach fill on highway projects.
Pumpable
High air content makes it easy to pump Geofill LD long distances at low pressures.
Compaction
No compaction is necessary. Use this product when future settlement cannot be tolerated.
