Project Spotlight: Lightweight Insulating Concrete for Interstitial Floor Fill (Venice, Ca) Selecting the appropriate lightweight material for filling the space between concrete slabs is crucial. In the case of the Venice project, lightweight insulating concrete stands out as an optimal solution. Let's delve into the technical benefits of this material: When it comes to choosing the right material for filling the space between concrete slabs, lightweight insulating concrete offers several advantages. Here are some benefits to consider: 1. Thermal Insulation: Lightweight insulating concrete provides excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature within the building. It minimizes heat transfer through the slab, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling. 2. Structural Integrity: Lightweight insulating concrete has higher compressive strength compared to other filler materials. It provides enhanced structural integrity, ensuring the longevity and stability of the concrete slab system. 3. Fire Resistance: Lightweight insulating concrete offers superior fire resistance. It is a non-combustible material that helps to prevent the spread of fire and provides added safety in case of emergencies. 4. Lightweight and Flowable Nature: An advantageous feature of lightweight insulating concrete is its lightweight composition and flowable consistency. This characteristic simplifies the installation process, allowing for efficient and rapid filling of the interstitial floor area. As evidenced in the Venice project, a 10,000 SF area was completed in just one day, demonstrating the ease and speed of installation. Learn more about our projects at https://buff.ly/3lSwwVI

We're thrilled to announce that the I-405 Improvement Project has clinched the prestigious ASCE Orange County Project of the Year Award! This marks yet another triumph for Cell-Crete Corporation, reinforcing our commitment to excellence. Continue reading to learn more about this remarkable project. A heartfelt thank you to ASCE for this honor. The $2.16 billion I-405 Improvement mega-project is one of the largest design-build infrastructure freeway projects in the United States, along one of the busiest and most congested freeway segments in the United States. The project improves 16 miles of Interstate Route 405 in Orange County, from State Route 73 to Interstate Route 605, crossing six corridor cities. The project aims to reduce travel times for the 509,000 travelers projected to traverse this segment per day by 2040. The goal of the project is to reduce congestion, enhance operations, increase mobility, improve trip reliability, maximize throughput, and optimize operations, while minimizing environmental impacts and right-of-way acquisitions. In general, the project accomplishes these goals by adding two lanes in each direction, providing one new general-purpose lane in each direction and allowing for the conversion of the existing carpool lane facility to a total four-lane tolled express lane facility. The freeway widening alleviates geometric constraints, such as bottlenecks and nonstandard lane and shoulder widths, and requires interchange reconstruction providing further traffic operational and geometric improvements. To accommodate the work, the project constructs four new bridges, replaces18 overcrossing bridges (including one pedestrian overcrossing), widens or modifies six existing bridges, and constructs miles of retaining and soundwalls along the corridor and local roadways. Almost all of the replaced overcrossing bridges span the freeway at a 45-degree skew, which further lengthens and complicates the bridge design. One of the new bridges supports a new connector ramp between the SR-73 tollway and the new I-405 express lane facility. Continue reading about the project here: https://buff.ly/4bgF93Z

Take a look at cellular concrete magnified at 2000 micrometers! 🔍 Lightweight Cellular Concrete distinguishes itself by eliminating the need for aggregates, resulting in its lightweight characteristic. Instead, our formulation relies on the creation of a pre-formed foam that imparts structural stability upon curing. This microscopic examination, at a magnification of 2000 micrometers, vividly demonstrates the intricate formation of our concrete. The impeccably preserved bubbles form a binding offset structure, which contributes significantly to the inherent strength of our product. #cellcrete #cellularconcrete #lightweightcellularconcrete #lightweightconcrete #concreteconstruction

Exciting news! Cell-Crete Roofing had the incredible opportunity to contribute to the magical developments at the Disneyland Resort. We're proud to have worked on two new restaurants, Paseo and Centrico, located in the heart of Downtown Disney. With menus crafted by the renowned Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytans, these restaurants are sure to be a culinary delight. Our team poured 2,380 SF of our innovative Lightweight Insulating Concrete (LWIC) Roof System over the roof structure. This not only provided the necessary 1-HR fire rating for the roof deck assembly but also eliminated the need to fireproof the bottom side of the deck, resulting in accelerated construction. #cellcrete #cellularcrete #constructionlife #constructionsite #constructionequipment #constructionwork #concreteconstruction #concretedesign #concretelife #pouriton #constructionservices #constructioncompany #constructionengineering #disneylandresort #LWIC

Lightweight Insulating Concrete (LWIC) offers numerous advantages for roof applications. Its customizable slope to drain ensures efficient water management, while the ease of placement around roof penetrations and equipment simplifies the installation process. Additionally, LWIC's lightweight nature, durability, and enhanced thermal performance make it a desirable option for both residential and commercial roofs. So, when considering roofing solutions, don't overlook the benefits of LWIC! Learn more about LWIC here: buff.ly/3AhvTeQ

Yes! There are many different terms used to refer to lightweight cellular concrete. The term ‘flowable fill’ is a generic way to describe any self-hardening low viscosity fill such as lightweight cellular concrete. Other variations of LCC include permeable lightweight cellular concrete, low density cellular concrete, foamed concrete, cellular grout (often used to reference pipeline and tunnel work), flowable soil cement, plastic soil cement, controlled density fill, and controlled low strength material CLSM. #cellcrete #cellularcrete #constructionlife #constructionsite #constructionequipment #constructionwork #concreteconstruction #concretedesign #concretelife #pouriton
