Foam Concrete Ltd on-site plant
One of the most startling comparisons of energy useable between using foam concrete manufactured in Foam Concrete Ltd's on-site batching and that made by foaming-up mix from a ready-mixed concrete supplier only becomes apparent when you see the approximate number of vehicle movements required to produce 1000m3 of 1000kg/m3 density foam concrete over four days, by each method:
