With applications expanding in concrete durability, stormwater management, and geotechnical stability, ESCSI’s Dr. Fariborz Tehrani emphasizes that lightweight aggregates are more than just an alternative—they’re a driving force for sustainable infrastructure.
Expanded shale, clay, and slate (ESCS) aggregates are lightweight materials that provide substantial sustainability benefits across a range of construction and environmental applications. Created by heating raw materials in a rotary kiln, the unique production process causes ESCS to expand and develop a porous structure, resulting in lightweight, durable, and highly versatile aggregates.
