ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS OF FOAMED CONCRETE

• Does not settle, hence requires no compaction.

• Lightweight - does not impose large loadings.

• Free flowing - spreads to fill all voids.

• Excellent load spreading characteristics.

• Once placed requires no maintenance.

• Does not impose significant lateral loads.

• Reliable quality control - batches are easy to reproduce.

• Resistant to freeze-thaw cycle (1000 cycles of -18oC to +20oC).

• Low water absorption over time.

• Excellent fire resistant properties.

• Non-hazardous either during application or in service.

• Highly cost effective compared with other methods.

• Enables fast work.

• Sufficiently strong and durable for most applications.

• Excellent sound and thermal insulation.

• Easy to re-excavate.

• Void Filling
  eg. disused storage tanks, pipelines, sewers, tunnels, culverts, subways, mine workings, cellars and basements,
  underground voids and caverns, archaeological excavations,
  trenches, swimming pools, relining of pipes etc.

• Trench Reinstatement

• Road and Pavement Sub-Bases

• Bridge Abutments

• Construction Strengthening

• Emergency works – Structural support
  eg. basements, tunnels, bridges, roads.

• Thermal Insulation
  eg. roofing, walls, floors.

• Pre-cast blocks and panels
