Coast To Coast Pressure Grouting

Load Reducing Backfill

This project required backfilling narrow areas up to 45’ deep between the new foundation and the sheet piles. Granular backfill would have required compaction which was logistically impossible, while flowable fill or CDF would exert too much load on the foundation wall.

Geofill Hybrid (70 PCF) reduced the lateral load against the foundation and eliminated hydrostatic pressure by being impermeable. The flowability of the material resulted in minimal disruption to the site.

Coast-to-Coast Pressure Grouting (CCPG) 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.

CCPG 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. Read more...
