ROAD SUBGRADE BASE:

Cellular concrete strengthens the

road subbase and reduces weight.

It has long-term viability with

little to no settling. Cellular

concrete is up to ten times

stronger than compacted soil or

granular material. Because it's

self-leveling, the subgrade

doesn't need to be compacted

before the cellular concrete is

installed. It is quick and easy to

install for a cost-saving solution.

RETAINING WALL BACKFILL:

Because of its strength and light

weight properties, cellular

concrete is an ideal product for

backfill behind retaining walls. It

reduces the lateral load on the wall

in comparison to soil or other

traditional granular fill materials.

The composition of the cellular

concrete can be modified for the

desired permeability, and can be

placed with increased lift heights

in a quick, easy application.

DAM & LEVEE STABILIZATION:

Because dams and levees are often

placed in soft, deep sediments,

settling can be a problem.

Lightweight cellular concrete can

be used beneath the surface to

stabilize the dam or levee structure.

Designs and calculations for the

cellular concrete layer will consider

the net load and often include

anchors to keep the dam or levee

stable in high water. Using cellular

concrete can significantly reduce

failures from washout and piping.

FOUNDATION FILLS:

Cellular concrete can prevent

settlement issues and fill voids in

structural foundations. In addition

to covering the entire foundation

area, cellular concrete can also be

used to fill the gap between a

building and the shoring hole, or to

repair foundation work that is hard

to access. Using cellular concrete as

a foundation mat not only decreases

settlement issues, but also provides

increased insulation between the

earth and the structure.

ANNULAR SPACE GROUT FILLING:

Cellular concrete is lightweight and

highly flowable, making it the ideal

product for annular grouting and

tunnel backfills. The material is

pumped at low pressure and can be

easily delivered over long distances.

Cellular concrete has less than 0.3%

shrinkage, and the product is

completely customizable to suit

project requirements. Its

lightweight, flowable properties

reduce the chance of floating the

pipe or damaging the slipliner.

ABANDONED PIPES & TANKS:

Filling abandoned pipes, tanks and

culverts with lightweight, flowable

cellular concrete is a time saving

and cost effective solution over

removing the structures or using

alternative fills. Using bulkheads

and inlets to control the flow, most

pipes can be filled from one end in a

single operation. No additional

excavation or pipe division is

needed. With a consistent

compressive strength, cellular

concrete is also easier to excavate if

necessary than traditional pipe fills.

VOID & CAVITY FILLING:

Because of its high flowability,

lightweight cellular concrete is

ideal for filling voids and cavities. It

is pumped with low pressure so it

will not damage the structures, but

will flow seamlessly to fill all

available spaces. The material can

be pumped from long distances

through hoses, so hard-to-reach

locations are not difficult to fill

with cellular concrete. Its low

shrinkage value and self-leveling

properties make it the ideal

solution for void and cavity filling.

BRIDGE APPROACHES:

Lightweight cellular concrete is

ideal for rehabilitating or

constructing bridge approaches.

Settlement of foundation soils in a

bridge approach can jeopardize the

structural integrity of the bridge.

Cellular concrete can resolve these

settlement issues quickly and with

a significant cost savings over

other remediation options. It

reduces the lateral load allowing

for the use of less costly

reinforcement systems.
