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. |
