Solite® Soil
National Zoo Entrance
Washington, DC
In 1982, Northeast Solite developed a soil blend incorporating Solite® structural and block size aggregates to enhance aeration, permeability, water retention, and balance. This lightweight soil also reduced dead weight and compaction. The planting mixture was placed atop Solite® Geofill in all of the flower and shrub planters throughout the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.
Chesapeake Bay
Northeast Solite partnered with the Anne Arundel County Department of Health in MD, to develop a drain field medium that would allow the effluent of septic systems to meet and exceed the requirements of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Whether used in drain-field trenching or a “3rd tank system”, Solite® proves invaluable for water filtration.
