March Air Reserve

Boudreau Pipeline Corporation installed hundreds of feet of 7ft x 14f reinforced concrete box (RCB) near the March Air Force Museum located in Riverside, Ca. A lightweight material that would reduce surcharging and settlement was required for the backfill along the RCB over a 100 ft section.

Cell-Crete Corporation was subcontracted to provide labor, materials, and equipment to install Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) as backfill around the 100 ft RCB section. The material specified for backfill was Class IV LCC per California Department of Transportation Specification 19-8.01A. Over 2,000 CY of class IV LCC (40PCF, 120+psi) material was installed successfully. LCC was considered because expected minimal settlement, decrease of surcharge, and ease of installation. The work was completed with Cell-Crete Corporation’s mobile batch plant (small footprint) within four days.
