Trinity Lightweight launches website

Words: Jeff SpeckThe new go-to place for accurate information on the benefits of using Expanded Shale and Clay Lightweight Aggregate in construction is Trinity Lightweight, trinitylightweight.com. The site features lightweight aggregate solutions to many complex construction situations, such as:
  • Internal Curing — Reducing shrinkage cracking in concrete when constructing large capacity water storage tanks without construction joints (Denver, Colo.)
  • Geotechnical/Horticultural — Reducing weight and providing a growing medium over a massive deck structure supporting an urban park (Dallas, Texas)
  • Structural Lightweight Concrete — Achieving significant dead load reduction, reducing foundation size and creating additional usable space in a civic center addition
  • Lightweight Concrete Masonry — Providing a 4-hour fire rating with 12-inch masonry units without filling the cores with grout.
