AIRIUM®
Advanced Cellular Lightweight Concrete
Efficient and Cost-Effective Solutions for Road Reinstatement and Void Filling
The AIRIUM® range consists of meticulously engineered cellular lightweight concretes (CLC) designed for high-performance infrastructure applications. Whether for road reinstatement or complex void filling, these materials offer self-leveling properties that eliminate the need for compaction equipment and ensure rapid, durable results. By providing a stable foam structure, AIRIUM® products completely eliminate or dramatically reduce settlement risk, enabling streamlined operations and enduring stability.
Achieve durable, settlement-free results in a single operation without compaction. It is manufactured to Holcim UK’s stringent quality protocols.
benefits
Why AIRIUM®
AIRIUM® products are engineered using Portland Cement (or GGBS blends), fine aggregates, and specialized additives to ensure high flowability and performance.
- Self-Leveling Nature: Its high flow characteristics make it perfect for filling inaccessible or complex voids and trenches, ensuring full contact and homogeneous density.
- Reduced Resource Needs: The elimination of compaction equipment dramatically reduces labor and machine requirements on-site, providing significant cost-efficiency.
- Compliance: Formulations like Roadfill are fully compliant with the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways (RAM Class RAM-3).
Holcim UK maintains rigorous quality protocols for Airium products and offers carbon calculations for projects, emphasising its commitment to sustainability and meeting diverse performance requirements. Its quick initial hardening time of 8-24 hours allows site teams to move rapidly to the next phase of work.
