New York Low Density Cellular Concrete FAQs

What is low density cellular concrete used for in New York?

LDCC is used throughout New York for void filling under buildings, structural backfill around utilities, tunnel abandonment, tank removal backfill, and lightweight roof decks. It's perfect for New York's weight-sensitive applications where traditional concrete would overload structures or existing foundations.

How much does cellular concrete cost in New York?

Cellular concrete costs vary by density and application, typically ranging from $8-15 per cubic foot in New York. While more expensive per yard than regular concrete, LDCC saves money by reducing structural load requirements, eliminating excavation, and providing easy placement in tight New York spaces.

Can you pump cellular concrete in New York's tight spaces?

Absolutely! Our advanced pumping equipment can deliver LDCC through small openings, tight basements, and confined spaces common in New York buildings. We can pump up to 300 feet horizontally and 50 feet vertically, making it perfect for New York's challenging access conditions.

How strong is cellular concrete for New York applications?

Our cellular concrete achieves compressive strengths from 200-2000 PSI depending on density requirements. This range covers most New York applications from void filling (200-400 PSI) to structural backfill (800-1200 PSI) while maintaining the lightweight properties essential for urban construction.

Is cellular concrete suitable for New York's freeze-thaw conditions?

Yes! Our LDCC formulations are designed for New York's climate with proper air content and freeze-thaw resistance. The cellular structure actually provides natural insulation properties, making it ideal for New York's temperature variations while maintaining structural integrity.

Do you provide emergency cellular concrete services in New York?

Yes, we provide emergency LDCC services for urgent void filling, structural stabilization, and emergency backfill throughout New York. Emergency applications include tunnel repairs, sinkhole filling, and emergency structural support. Call (718) 524-SEAL for immediate cellular concrete response.
