GEOlight® - Solution for lightweight embankments

Replacing conventional backfill with lightweight backfill is particularly useful in areas of compressible soils, landslides or behind retaining structures. Using GEOlight® limits the loads applied to the surface of the foundation soil and improves the stability of the structure by reducing ground deformation.

Embankments on soft soil

The use of ultra lightweight honeycombed structures as a lightweight embankment on soft soil stabilises the embankment.

Embankments on slopes

On unstable slopes or in areas subject to landslides, the use of a lightweight embankment is a good solution for stabilising the slopes.

Embankments on underground pipes

A lightweight embankment can be used to reduce the weight over a nozzle, ducts or an underground work.
