CPD Webinar: The Structural Benefits of LECA® Lightweight Fill Behind Retaining Walls
CPD Webinar: The Structural Benefits of LECA® Lightweight Fill Behind Retaining Walls
When used against retaining walls, Leca® LWA will reduce the weight acting on the rear of the structure by at least 75%, in comparison to traditional fill materials. This reduction in weight can avoid potential sliding, overturning, slip and tilting or bearing failures and enables savings by increasing spacing between buttressing walls and reducing structural dimensions.
The ‘pull out’ resistance of Leca® LWA makes it an ideal solution for reinforced soil retaining walls. Particularly when constructed over weak sub-soils or voids, this method has been proven to cut overall construction costs considerably.
Overview:
Join us for our lunchtime CPD webinar where our geotechnical team will provide a full overview on the reason why specifiers and contractors specify LECA® Lightweight Fill as a cost saving opportunity for constructing retaining walls.
Key areas for webinar:
- Why is lightweight aggregate suitable for retaining walls?
- Recent key case studies where LECA® Lightweight Fill has been applied to retaining wall design
- Highlighting diverse delivery methods (including pneumatic delivery) for LECA® Lightweight Fill
- Technical specification and certification available
- Q&A session with the technical team
*All attendees will receive a CPD Certificate.
Commitment to Sustainability
Our intermediate commitment is reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by 30% in 2025 followed by 50% reduction by 2030, achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050. For that LECA will invest in clean processes, substituting the consumption of fossil fuels with green energy. At the same time, we intend to reduce the consumption of virgin materials in our operations and improving the circular economy with our customers and partners. To bring to You and to the Planet an even more sustainable product.
