Foster City Levee

As growing concerns of sea-level rise plague our coastal cities, Foster City, CA has begun construction on a multi-year improvements project. The goal was to raise the 4.5-mile long levee and remove the flood zone designation for local homeowners as a result.

We are using Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) as a key component in this endeavor, as the additional levee height must be balanced against unique geotechnical challenges. We’re pouring a variety of densities of our foamed concrete to meet design needs ranging from a lightweight 30 PCF mix all the way up to a whopping 90 PCF foamed slurry.
