Flowable Fill
Translator tool provided for the benefit of our customers.
As an alternative to using concrete, DMV Concrete can also use flowable fill as a backfill. Flowable fill is a controlled low-strength material made of cement, water, sand, and typically an air-entraining admixture. This versatile "liquid soil" is used as a flowable liquid, yet it hardens and rapidly develops excellent load-bearing properties. Because it flows into place, flowable fill requires no compaction. Its viscosity and strength can be altered to meet the needs of any backfill projects, and its fluidity allows it to flow long distances to even the hardest places to reach. But that’s not all it can do…
We can also use Flowable Fill as backfill for:
- Building Excavation
- Bridge Abutments
- Road Base
- Utility Trenches
- Surface Prep for Concrete overlays
- Sub Footing
- Floor Slab Base
- Pipe Bedding
