Slurry
Rock™ Flowable Backfill
Slurry-Rock™ Flowable Backfill is not concrete
or soil, yet it is a strong, economical, virtually self-leveling
and labor free backfill
material that requires no compaction or in place testing.
Whenever a backfill material is needed, slurry-rock flowable backfill
may be used. Possible uses include, but are not limited to:
 |
Foundation sub-base |
|
|
Street excavations |
|
Trench backfill |
|
|
Erosion repair |
|
Fiber-optic trenches |
|
|
Retaining wall backfill |
|
Bridge abutments |
|
|
Abandoned fuel tanks |
|
 |
 |
Cost
Reduction
Our ready mix truck eliminates costly equipment
to haul and handle conventional backfill material.
Ready mix trucks, especially in hard to reach areas, will eliminate
extensive hand labor that would be needed for placement and compaction
utilizing conventional backfill methods. With Slurry-rock™ flowable
backfill, labor is practically
eliminated. There is no need for in place testing, and test cylinders
provide
standardized results.

Versatility
A
variety of mix designs have been developed using different aggregate
combinations, cementitious materials, and admixtures. In place
strengths from 2,000 psf to 30,000 psf have been developed. Use
on our time-tested mixtures or have your technical representative
design a mix to meet your specifications. Slurry-rock™ flowable
backfill may also be pumped if needed.

Durability
The
cementitious nature of Slurry-rock™ flowable backfill makes it
more stable and less permeable than conventional backfill material.
The freeze-thaw cycle may affect the slurry-rock material. However,
as long as the fill is contained within a certain amount of space,
it will perform the same as other granular fill material.
