Filed:

Dec 10, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/783899

Inventors:

- Eddystone PA, US
Thomas Liam McGrath - Huntingdon Valley PA, US

Assignee:

Aero Aggregates of North America, LLC - Eddystone PA

International Classification:

E02B 3/04
C02F 3/10
C02F 3/34

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for coastal resiliency amelioration or other flooding amelioration, comprising adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to a property to raise its elevation, wherein the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is not increased. In some embodiments, the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is decreased (e.g., a negative surcharge). Systems and methods are also disclosed for increasing the stormwater storage capacity of a property, comprising, adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to the property.

Appl. No.:

17/800831

Inventors:

- Eddystone PA, US
Thomas Liam McGrath - Huntingdon Valley PA, US

Assignee:

Aero Aggregates of North America LLC - Eddystone PA

International Classification:

B28B 23/00
C04B 28/04
C04B 20/00
C04B 40/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for producing a shaped cementitious article comprising mixing foamed glass aggregate particles, Portland cement, and water, placing the mixture into a mold, applying vibration and/or pressure to the mold, removing the mold, and then curing the molded concrete article. The shaped cementitious article may be a concrete block (e.g., a solid block, a hollow block, a flue, a curb, or a paver). The concrete block may be a relatively lightweight formed concrete block defining a hollow interior portion (e.g., “cinder block” shaped).

International Classification:

B65D 90/42
B65D 88/34
B65D 90/28

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for vaporization suppression. Vaporization suppression may include, for example, evaporation control and/or odor control. A layer of foam glass aggregates may be placed on a body of water. Bodies of water may include natural and man-made aqueous bodies (such as, for example, ponds, lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, tanks, pools, runoff areas, etc.). Water may include clean water, natural water, rainwater, runoff, industrial output, manure slurries, leachates, treatment effuse, etc.). When placed, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a first moisture content. At equilibrium, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a second moisture content. The second moisture content may be greater than the first moisture content. The foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a bulk density at the second moisture content that is sufficient to maintain buoyancy at the surface of the body of water.
