The company has evolved from its early origins to become a world leader in process innovation, construction application, and design of lightweight aggregate concrete. Specified for the original deck of the new Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis in 1952, the use of lightweight aggregate concrete saved the equivalent weight of a three mile long empty freight train sitting on the bridge.
Northeast Solite products have been used in numerous major construction projects, including Dulles Airport, the Brooklyn Bridge Deck Rehabilitation, Muhammed Ali Center, Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, and the Muhammed Ali Center in Louisevile, KY. Aggregate concrete is attractive to architects, engineers, builders and others because concrete made from either Solite or Kenlite is generally 20 to 30 percent lighter than conventional concrete, yet just as strong and more durable. This is best describe by example . . . the use of lightweight aggregate concrete was specified for the original deck of the new Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis in 1952, and it saved the equivalent weight of a three mile long empty freight train sitting on the bridge.
In addition, Solite products are used in major "Green" projects including green roof and constructed wetland projects.
