01
Roof assemblies
For new construction or rehabilitation, BLC may be considered as lightweight fill beneath a roof system designed for the project.

Utility channels and covers
Precasting offers avenues for utility infrastructure and access: non-load-bearing fills, composite components and elements that must be handled.
Read the overview03
Bridge approaches
BLC may be studied in approach pavements and adjoining interfaces, through a design that coordinates ground conditions, water and thermal behaviour.
