revolutionary airium concrete product launched in uk

Official UK Launch Event 

The official UK launch of Airium Roadfill and Airium Voidfill took place in July at the London Concrete plant where industry professionals gathered to witness these groundbreaking products firsthand. The event featured hands-on demonstrations at London concrete neighbouring plant that showcased the unique capabilities of Airium, giving customers a chance to see how the products perform in real-world scenarios. Attendees also received a detailed technical overview, highlighting the versatility and sustainability of the Airium range.

Airium Roadfill: Revolutionising Road Backfilling

Airium Roadfill is designed to streamline road construction and maintenance, providing a solution that minimises disruptions and maximises productivity. This innovative foam concrete requires no specialised equipment, such as compactors or vibrators, making the application process simpler and more cost-effective. By eliminating the need for stockpiling granular-fill materials and reducing long-term settlement issues, Airium Roadfill enables customers to complete projects faster, with fewer resources, and greater reliability.

Ideal for applications ranging from highway reinstatements to utility repairs, Airium Roadfill excels in scenarios where traditional compaction methods are difficult or impractical. It fills narrow trenches and undercut pockets with precision, providing comprehensive protection for pipelines and other infrastructure. Customers can choose between Airium Roadfill, which reaches 4 MPa strength in seven days, or Airium Roadfill Ultra, which achieves the same strength in just one to two days, making it perfect for time-sensitive projects like emergency road repairs.
