MaxFlow LD-CLSM
Information and Image Gallery
This image shows a trench with an approximate length of 50 feet. MaxFlow LD-CLSM is being poured from a 2" pump line at far end of the excavation. The flow direction is toward the foreground of the image. The left wall of the excavation shown is LD-CLSM cast previously. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
In this image, additional material was placed, again from the far end, causing the MaxFlow LD-CLSM to naturally flow the full length of the excavation. The overall depth of the fill is approximately 12 inches. To see an enlargement of this images, CLICK HERE.
Field quality control measures include as-cast density determinations. Wet density determinations are made by weighing a tared, machined-steel weighing container of known volume, filled with fresh LD-CLSM. Density determinations are thereupon calculated and recorded in measurement units of weight/volume3. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
Cylindrical test specimens are cast to verify by testing, the in-place physical properties. Such properties include compressive strength, bearing capacity and in-service density. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
Another useful field determined property is flow consistency. This property is determined by filling an open-ended 3 x 6 inch cylinder, placed on a smooth, level, non-absorbing surface, with fresh LD-CLSM. The cylinder is lifted above the surface and the subsequent spread diameter is measured. The spread measurement is used to predict the flow properties of the fill and measure consistency.

MaxFlow LD-CLSM is jobsite produced. Using volumetric mixing equipment and a controlled volume foam generator, production rates of up to 100 cubic yards per hour can be achieved. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
MaxFlow LD-CLSM is fluid yet stable. This allows various delivery options to be utilized such as pumping or chute placement. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
In place, MaxFlow LD-CLSM is a cohesive, durable fill material. It can be designed to have superior bearing capacities when compared to that of granular fill - - - while being at one fifth the in-place density. To see an enlargement of this image, CLICK HERE.
