Infra - Argex - Geëxpandeerde klei

Argex Infra

Expanded clay granules have been successfully used worldwide as geotechnical backfill material for many decades. The advantage of Argex is that the product properties – lightweight, porous yet load-bearing – can easily eliminate several of the problems that contractors face in just one simple operation.

A solid foundation for your infrastructure works, thanks to argex

With low-load-bearing soils, expensive solutions and/or constructions are often required to realise low-settlement or even settlement-free solutions within a project. Argex Infra totally eliminates this problem. The low density and ease of use (with the possibility of pneumatic unloading via silo trucks) in combination with constant quality, make Argex the ideal solution for your infrastructure works.

QUAYWALL AND RETAINING WALL

When used behind retaining walls, Argex granules reduce the weight applied to the back of the structure by at least 60% compared to traditional backfill material. This weight reduction prevents and drastically reduces the hydrostatic pressure due to the high drainage capacity of Argex granules. Additions with Argex enable savings by simply making the construction lighter!

PAVEMENT

As a light and load-bearing material, Argex is used in the construction of roads for both light and heavy traffic, bicycle and footpaths.

DRAINAGE LIGHT SUB-FOUNDATIONS

The ideal basic raw material for water buffer and infiltration basins is a package of expanded clay granules, packed in an open or closed geotextile. The open spaces in and between the grains ensure ideal drainage. In addition, Argex grains can be blown by a silo truck over a distance of up to 100 m. So, perfect for a quick and easy placement on sites with limited accessibility and/or drivability.
