35 pounds per cubic foot (while wet) is the most popular mix design used for residential backfill that needs drainage. Any cast weights exceeding 35 pounds per cubic foot are non-permeable and widely used for underground decommissioning items like abandoned pipes, vacated sewer and old oil cisterns/tanks.

Why use Cellular lightweight concrete? The cellular concrete is applied via a hose, thus no heavy machinery is needed for placement. Lightweight cellular concrete is great for backfilling between the earth and concrete retaining walls, lessening the lateral loads applied.
