What are the application advantages of the foam concrete?

Foamed concrete is a versatile material.

Its ability to flow easily under its self-weight has led to its use in void filling, including old sewerage pipes, wells, cellars and basements of old buildings, storage tanks, tunnels and subways.

Because of its good thermal properties, it has been used as an insulating material on roofs, in housing foundations and floors. Its inherent fire resistance has also been exploited in a wide range of uses. Foamed concrete has also been used in bridge foundations

Other applications include precast elements, in raft foundations of houses, as a foundation-layer for sports fields and athletic tracks, for annulus grouting of segmental tunnels, backfilling the voids behind tunnel linings.
