    The document discusses various geotechnical applications of expanded clay aggregate (ECA) including for railways, bridges, roads, coastal construction, landscaping, drainage, waterways, underground storage tanks, pipelines, below-ground cavities, landfills, sewage treatment, and water retaining structures. ECA provides benefits such as light weight while maintaining strength, absorption of water to improve durability of roads, and use in soft soils to prevent sliding or deformation. Particle sizes of ECA can be tailored for specific applications.

    COASTAL APPLICATION

    ECA
    • When constructing quays, soft
    ground conditions often call for the
    use of lighter fills to guard against
    slide or deformation which can
    damage structures ECA can be
    used there.

    GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATION
    DRAINAGE APPLICATION

    • Efficient drainage of the structural layers of the road build up can


    prevent loss of load bearing properties caused by water and
    ensure a good load bearing capacity throughout the road life.

    WATERWAYS APPLICATION
    GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATION
    • UNDER GROUND PETROLIUM TANKS :
    • Tanks that are buried underground, particularly when they are used for storing dangerous
    flammable liquids, reduces the risk of accident or damage and is frequently required for
    compliance with national and international standards. The properties of ECA ( Expanded Clay
    Aggregates ) make it the perfect material for burying all types of tank.

    GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATION
    Fill for below-ground cavities :

    ECA 8-15 mm & ECA 15-30 mm


    OTHER APPLICATION

    • Landfills :
    Lightweight ECA helps reduce the load on landfills walls and surfaces.
    ECA can be used as lightweight fill in cases where there is a need to
    ensure stability, prevent settlement and compensate for heavy loads.

    OTHER APPLICATION
    • Water Retaining Structures :
    Cracking due to temperature and moisture changes is minimised,
    contraction and curing properties presents few, if any, problems
    and an impermeable concrete can be produced.
    • ECA can be used as a structural soil by increasing the ECA to soils
    mix for overspill car parking, Golf Courses, Sports Pitches, etc.
