Motorway project on E18 in Askim is consisting of two separate Leca fillings, one of them against abutments of a bridge in combination with EPS. The problem was ground consisting of soft clay with potential to settlements. Leca was used to compensate the additional load of the embankment on the subgrade and to reduce the settlement variation in the fill behind the abutment. After removal of the topsoil and excavation to required level, a geotextile was laid out on the ground. The Leca was brought in by lorries and tipped directly into the pit. Layers of Leca around 1 m was spread out and compacted with tracked bulldozer. Maximum thickness of the Leca fillings were 4 m.
