Osco’s Lightweight Cellular Concrete has many uses and benefits.
Osco’s Lightweight Cellular Concrete has many uses and benefits. This amazing material is not only significantly lighter and less dense than conventional concrete but also remarkably flowable. Cellular Concrete is also self-levelling and has excellent freeze-thaw resistance. Its closed-cell structure also means the material has low permeability.

The Lightweight Cellular Concrete Process
Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) is a multifaceted construction material that ensures a quicker and more efficient installation compared to granular fills. It offers superior soundproofing and fire resistance, with potential for thermal insulation. Ideal for void fill applications, LCC fills sinkholes, tunnels, and similar voids, minimizing soil pressure. It plays a crucial role in soil remediation, creating a sturdy base and reducing stress on subsoils.
As a utility and culvert trench fill, LCC provides exceptional support and stability, preventing soil settlement and road dips. It also stands out as a preferred flowable fill or geofoam alternative, and its use in retaining or MSE wall backfill significantly reduces lateral load and geogrid damage, bolstering the lifespan and stability of construction endeavours.
Discover the Multifaceted Efficiency of Lightweight Cellular Concrete
Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) accelerates installation and enhances construction stability with superior soundproofing and fire resistance. Ideal for various applications, it efficiently fills voids, stabilizes soil, and minimizes soil pressure and geogrid damage. LCC’s multifunctionality and support for utility and culvert trench fill enhance the longevity and durability of construction projects.
Thermal Backfill & Sub-Slab Fill
Faster than granular fills, it reduces hydrostatic lateral load, enhancing soundproofing and fire resistance. Its mix can also offer thermal insulation, optimizing construction efficiency and safety.
Void Fill
It effectively fills sinkholes, wells, tunnels, and other voids, flowing easily and lightening the load on soil, ensuring stability and safety in addressing various subterranean construction concerns.
Retaining Wall/MSE Wall Backfill
Lateral load is significantly reduced, which can also minimize potential damage to the geogrid during the backfill process.
Utility Trench Fill
Protects and supports utility lines and reduces or eliminates the need for compaction.
Culvert Trench Fill
Prevents later soil settlement and subsequent dips in the road.
Soil Remediation
Creates a strong base while reducing the burden on subsoils.
