BRIDGE ABUTMENTS	Back
Foamed Concrete is an extremely versatile material with a wide range of applications. It can be used for road sub-bases, bridge abutments and bridge strengthening. It is especially advantageous and cost effective when used for projects on soft ground.

Bridge Abutment: A road bridge needed to be built across a railway line. The ground was soft and so foamed concrete was used to construct the bridge abutment. When compared with traditional fill materials, foamed concrete required less piles to be constructed and the walls and foundations were smaller, so there were huge costs savings made by using foamed concrete.

Bridge Strengthening: Foamed concrete was used to strengthen this railway bridge in Battersea, London, UK. The railway line is very busy and had to be kept open during repair work. Foamed concrete was used to encase the existing steel structure and strengthen the bridge.
