Use of cellular lightweight concrete continues to increase worldwide. New products from the Innovations Lab of Cellular Concrete LLC are helping to drive this powerful trend, including the introduction of Geofoam SP, a synthetic foaming agent for producing pervious cellular lightweight concrete, which helps developers, specifiers, and project owners to economically meet the goals and demands of sustainable, effective land use.

Benefits of using Pervious Lightweight Cellular Concrete:

• Geofoam SP is a solid consistent sub base that will not shift in time and will not deteriorate or settle into the soil.
• Geofoam SP reduces the amount of excavation by 50%. This saves money and reduces the carbon foot print.
• Geofoam SP has a filtering capability which will keep the ground water cleaner.
• Geofoam SP can be produced with fly ash witch in most cases will qualify for LEED credits.
• Geofoam SP reduces the mining of aggregate witch reduces the carbon foot print.
• Geofoam SP can also be used under landscaped areas such as golf courses and planters to control run off and prevent standing water.

Geofoam SP produces an engineered, permeable, open-cell lightweight concrete, able to stabilize soil without disturbing or redirecting natural water flow. Geofoam SP pervious cellular lightweight concrete provides proven geotechnical solutions for fields and golf courses, parking lots, roads and runways, pipe and conduit bedding, and retaining wall backfill applications requiring drainage capacities exceeding those obtainable from compacted soil or controlled low strength material (CLSM).
