Applications
Readymix Flowable Fill can replace compacted soil as structural fill or backfill in many applications, because Readymix Flowable Fill flows, and therefore needs no compacting. It is ideal for use in tight or restricted access areas, where placing and compacting soil or granular fill is difficult or even impossible. Flowable Fill is versatile and is great for use as a backfill for:
- Filling voids under existing pavements, foundations and other supporting structures.
- Backfilling narrow trenches.
- Filling abandoned underground structures such as culverts, pipes, tunnels, storage tanks, wells and sewers.
Flowable Fill is able to flow under, and around, pipes, providing uniform support without leaving voids.
Its self-levelling properties eliminate the chance of workers accidentally damaging pipes by operating compaction equipment near them. Its low compressive strength and rippability makes access to pipes previously buried in Flowable Fill easy.
Readymix Flowable Fill also has applications for pavement construction and maintenance for:
- Under roadways, it serves as a strong, stable subbase.
- As a fill material for pavement section replacement
- Temporarily supports traffic when placed up to pavement grade
- Opening restored pavements to traffic within 24-36 hours
- Good thermal, acoustic and fireproofing requirements.
