PRODUCT COMPARISON
The Process
1. Ecofill reviews the site investigation data and prepares an initial assessment & project proposal
outlining the various benefits of what can be achieved by adopting the Ecofill technology. This
includes an overview of the Ecofill services available to that particular scheme, a technical
appraisal and also highlights the significant savings on carbon & costs.
2. Subject to acceptance of the proposal, and in line with our robust Quality Management Plan,
independent laboratory testing is carried out on the clays & subsoils to determine the moisture
content and the required binder mix and addition rate.
3. The Ecofill machine and tailored binders are mobilised to site and production of the Ecofill
products commences under the control of our Production Supervisor. Additional laboratory
testing is conducted at regular intervals during the production process which further adheres to
the Ecofill Quality Management Plan.
4. Laying and compaction is carried out using traditional compaction equipment and in line with
Table 6/4 of SHW600. Once the Ecofill products are compacted correctly, the rapid curing
process begins. The Ecofill products can be stockpiled for later use, in particular, Ecofill 75 has a
workability period of up to 6 months therefore offering a high degree of flexibility.
5. To finish, full testing is carried out to ensure the structures meet the relevant
National & European specifications and a validation report is provided.
Together with our clients, we can challenge convention, drive effective
change and deliver much needed improvements resulting in a smarter,
greener & more cost-effective, modern method of construction.
Ecofill is the definition of a circular economy.
