About this event
Overview
When constructing a quayside and coastal development, soft ground conditions often call for the use of lighter fills to guard against slide or deformation which can damage structures. A number of solid berth structures have been successfully built over recent years using Leca® Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LWA).
CPD Webinar Session
During this session our technical team will highlight what makes LECA® LWA an effective and resource saving solution within large scale quayside construction.
This will include the premier of the Blackpool Revisited Video Case Study where over 4000m3 of LECA® LWA was specified to provide robust coastal protection - saving over £250,000 for the local Lancashire Council.
Key areas for webinar:
- Why lightweight aggregate is suitable for Quayside development
- What additional strength does lightweight fill offer for quayside protection
- Case studies where LECA® LWA has been applied to Quayside design in the UK
- Technical specification and certification
- Q&A session with the technical team
*This webinar will be recorded and all attendees will receive a CPD Certificate.
