Béton Léger du Canada presents lightweight insulating concrete technology for road infrastructure and building applications requiring qualification. Its public documentation brings together laboratory results, MTQ recognition for the evaluated pavement insulation use and a structured project approach. Journalists can obtain presentation sheets, relevant references and an interview with Éric Lauzon to prepare accurate coverage of the technology and its intended applications.

Understand freezing and thawing
Water enters
Cracks and edges can admit water into pavement layers.
Freezing lifts
With available water and frost-susceptible soil, ice lenses can form.
Thawing weakens
Retained water can reduce support and increase deformation under traffic.
Our educational guide presents deterioration mechanisms associated with water, freezing and thawing, with technical references to explain them.
