Lightweight Concrete Contractors: One of the Area’s Best
Cellular lightweight concrete offers an economical option for a wide variety of applications and can save your project time and money. The Conco Companies’ proprietary Confoam™ is customized for each project and is ideal for backfilling narrow and unstable trenches, creating sub-bases for highways, and stabilizing soil.
Confoam™ is a low-density fill material created by injecting or blending a foaming agent into a cement-based slurry to create a highly flowable, lightweight concrete that can backfill the hardest to reach abandoned pipelines, tight spaces, and voids. It’s a “greener” concrete with a relatively low carbon footprint, and a safer alternative to traditional fill methods because it eliminates the need for crew in the excavation area.

The extremely fluid nature of Conco’s Confoam™ makes it easily pumpable, and mix designs are determined by the strength required of the concrete once it has cured. Lightweight mixes vary from using only Portland cement to using sand-cement ratios. If a higher compressive strength is required, the mix will consist of fine and/or coarse aggregate to produce a stronger concrete with a higher density. Fly ash and admixtures can also be added.
The benefits of using Conco Companies’ Confoam™ includes:
- Easy Placement – With low density and flowability, Confoam™ is easily pumped at low pressure over long distances. Its self-leveling ability allows it to fill every void, so the material doesn’t require mechanical compaction.
- Lightweight Strength – Cellular concrete is lightweight because it’s made by replacing stone aggregate with air bubbles, but it’s stronger than compacted fills or soil.
- Cost-effective – Confoam™ is less expensive to produce and place, and also reduces costs associated with transportation and storage.
- Permeable or Non-permeable – Depending on the mix components, lightweight concrete can be designed to either prevent water from penetrating, or allow water to drain through.
