Foamed Concrete

Wattsmix Foamed Concrete is a lightweight, highly flowable, limited strength mix, specifically developed for void fill. The mix contains a high and stable mass of air that reduces the density and significantly improves the placing characteristics.

It is self compacting and no vibration is needed. Foamed concrete can be delivered to site in our standard readymix vehicles.

The high air content means Wattsmix Foamed Concrete has excellent insulation, sound-absorbing and fire-resisting properties.

Benefits
• Ease of placement and finishing
(particularly where access is limited)
• Self-compacting and self-levelling
• Cost effective compared with traditional trench fill methods
• Good thermal, sound and fire resisting characteristics
• Resistant to freeze / thaw damage
• Reduced weight compared with normal concrete

Applications
• Neutralises and secures old fuel storage tanks
• Fills disused vaults, sewers, pipelines, culverts and shafts
• Trench re-instatement
• Insulating sub-screeds
• Filling of temporary openings
• Filling of arches in bridges and viaducts.
• Resistant to freeze / thaw damage
• Reduced weight compared with standard concrete

Use Wattsmix Foamed Concrete to fill voids where limited, difficult or unstable access is a problem. For example, disused vaults, sewers and pipe lines or for neutralising redundant petrol/diesel storage tanks where gas and fumes within the tank are displaced by the foamed concrete rendering the tank safe. Trench reinstatement up to 50mm of final road level is another common application with the advantage of speed of placement, no settlement, no compaction necessary and ease of subsequent excavation if required.
