Central Ave./Deerfield Rd., Highland Park, IL
| Scope: | Installed 129.21 cubic yards of GEOFILL (CLSM) product. |
| Owner: | City of Highland Park |
| General Contractor: | Hardin Paving
460 W. Hintz Rd. Wheeling, IL 60090 |
| Start/Completion Date: | 11/19/99 to 12/14/99 |
| Brief Summary: | In this project Hardin Paving was replacing old brick manholes with new pre-cast manholes. Pavement removal and excavation was only slightly larger than the actual size of the manholes, leaving very tight spaces and crevices to be backfilled. To obtain proper compaction in backfilling using conventional methods, in such a limited access space, would be extremely difficult. The simple solution was to use GEOFILL's flowable fill (CLSM) on this project. |

Ela Rd. Sanitary Sewer Relocation, Lake Zurich, IL
| Scope: | Installed 550 cubic yards of GEOFILL (CLSM) product. |
| Owner: | Village of Lake Zurich |
| General Contractor: | Campanella
& Sons, Inc. PO Box 32 39207 N. Magnetics Blvd. Wadsworth, IL 60083 |
| Start/Completion Date: | 4/17/00 to 4/27/00 |
| Brief Summary: | This project involved installing sewers, laterals, and waterlines under one of the busiest roads in Lake Zurich. CLSM was specified to expedite the project's completion. Using GEOFIL's flowable fill (CLSM) on this project allowed the road to be opened to traffic much faster than if conventional granular backfill was used. In some cases, cars and truck traffic were traveling over the GEOFILL in under an hour. |
