Time and Cost Saving
Using foam concrete can save an enormous amount of time and money, when compared with the more traditional ground treatment methods used in settlement free construction.
Foam concrete is an economically viable solution, particularly in large volume applications, where its use can also have an effect on other aspects of construction:
-
Mix designs tailored to project or budget requirements
-
Minimal soil removal required prior to placement of foam concrete
-
No wait for sub-soil consolidation
-
Innovative and inexpensive method for correction or prevention of subsidence
-
Foam concrete can be placed directly on existing marginal ground (i.e. peat or reclaimed land)
-
Reduce or even eliminate need for piling
-
Lifts of up to one metre are possible, due to reduced lateral loading
-
Eliminate remedial works required due to settlement
-
Reduced building costs for earth retained structures
-
Durability of foam concrete means lower maintenance costs
-
High volume equipment with rapid installation reduced installed unit costs
