Advantages of Using Flowable Fill

When it comes to construction projects, choosing suitable materials is essential to ensure quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Flowable fill, also known as controlled low-strength material (CLSM), has become increasingly popular in the construction industry. Flowable fill is a self-compacting, cementitious material primarily used as an alternative to compacted granular fill.
