Landscaping on the upper floors of buildings or over underground garages is becoming an important architectural feature. The weight of soil especially, where a variety of grades are required, can be a major load on the structure.
The use of GeoSpec lightweight fill material allows the landscape architect to vary the finished soil grade and reduce the structural loading, yet provide sufficient soil over the GeoSpec lightweight fill to permit the growth of trees, shrubs,or grass.
GeoSpec lightweight fill material, having a density of approximately 16 kg/m3 (1 lb/ft3), replaces soil with a density of 1440 to 1765 kg/m3 (90 to 110 lbs/ft3). GeoSpec lightweight fill material is a closed cell foam so it absorbs limited amounts of water and a structural loading of 16 kg/rn3 (1 lb/ft3) can be safely used.
