Lightweight aggregate in sustainable construction

摘要

LYTAG lightweight aggregate can assist project teams in overcoming design limitations imposed by the weight of traditional aggregates. It can help reduce the amount of reinforcement necessary, depending on design criteria, and enable smaller foundation sizes to be used or even negate the need for piling. All this can add up to a reduction in the project costs or an enhancement of the buildrnSecondary aggregate can be used in a range of construction applications including structural concrete, precast concrete, screeds and fills. It helps improve the sustainability credentials of a project by diverting material previously destined for landfill and also reducing the demand on virgin aggregate.
