Flowable Fill™ is engineered backfill used to provide a solid foundation for garage and basement concrete slab, bedding for sewer pipes and other structures. It provides a stronger, more reliable foundation that will not settle or sink like soil or granular backfill materials.

Flowable Fill™, a blend of cement, fly ash, sand and water, can be placed by chute, pump, conveyor, or bucket and because it is self-leveling, no spreading or compacting of the material is required.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Easy Delivery and Placement
Flowable Fill™ is delivered by ready mix trucks and can be placed by chute, pump, conveyor, or bucket.
Mix Matches the Application
Flowable Fill™ mix can be adjusted to meet specific project, structural or excavation needs.
Strong and Durable
Load-carrying capacities of Flowable Fill™ are greater than soil or granular fill. Flowable Fill™ is also less permeable, making it more resistant to erosion.
Will Not Settle or Sink Flowable Fill™ does not form voids during placement and won't settle or rut under loading.
Provides Improved Safety
Flowable Fill™ can be placed in a trench without anyone entering the trench, reducing worker exposure to unsound ground.
Allows All Weather Construction
Flowable Fill™ will displace any standing water left in a trench from rain or melting snow, reducing the need for pump.
Less Equipment Needs Required to Place Fill No loaders, rollers, or tampers are needed to place Flowable Fill™, unlike soil or granular backfill.

APPLICATIONS
Back Fill for: Sewer, Trenches, Utility Trenches, Building Excavations, Bridge Abutments, Conduit Trenches

Structural Fill for: Road Base , Mud Jacking, Sub Footing, Floor Slab Base, Pipe Bedding

Other Uses: Underground Storage Tanks, Slope Stabilization, Soil Erosion Control, Mud Mats, Abandoned Sewers
