Flowable

Flowable fill is a self-compacting, low-strength material with a flowable consistency, used as an economical fill or backfill alternative to compacted granular fill. It is placed as a flowable liquid but hardens and rapidly develops excellent load-bearing properties without the need for compaction.

​Key features and benefits are listed below.​

•         Readily Available

•         Easy to deliver

•         Ready mix trucks can deliver any amount necessary to the job sight

•         Easy to place

•         Depending on the type and location of the void, flowable may be placed by conveyor, chute, pump, or bucket

•         Since it is self-leveling, little or no spreading is needed

•         Versatile

•         Flowable fill mix designs can be adjusted to meet specific fill requirements

•         May be excavated

•         With compressive strengths as low as 50 to 100 psi, flowable fill may be easily excavated with conventional digging equipment

•         Requires less inspection

•         Won’t settle

•         Reduces excavating

•         Trenches don’t need to handle compaction equipment

•         Improves worker safety

•         Workers can place flowable fill without entering the void

•         Allows construction in all weather

•         Flowable fill displaces standing water. May also be heated like ready mix concrete

•         Reduces equipment needs

•         Requires no storage on a job site

•         Makes use of fly ash, a waste by-product
