Elastizell Corporation of America

How long has your organization been involved in these materials?

Our history is rooted in over 65 years of experience within the specialty concrete industry. We were established as a leader in the field, providing high-quality material and specialized equipment to produce lightweight cellular concrete for a wide variety of applications. Over the decades, we have evolved from a focused research and development entity into a comprehensive national network. This legacy is built on a foundation of engineering excellence, with our leadership teams often coming from deep academic and practical backgrounds in civil engineering and physics. Our long-term presence i

What kind of specialized expertise does your team bring to a construction project?

Our team comprises seasoned professionals, including civil engineers, project managers, and specialists who focus exclusively on lightweight materials. Many of our key personnel have spent their entire careers within the Elastizell family, beginning in research labs and progressing to executive leadership.  We don't just supply a product; we provide a solutions-based mindset. Our engineers work closely with designers and equipment operators from the pre-design phase through post-construction. This collaborative approach is especially vital for projects involving cellular concrete in North

Can you explain the logistical process of how the material is mixed and delivered to a job site?

One of the most significant advantages of our system is our mobile batch plant technology. Unlike traditional concrete, our material is generally site-batched. We bring our equipment directly to your location, mixing the material on demand and pumping it immediately into place. This process significantly reduces the number of truck deliveries required. By mixing on-site, we can also perform real-time quality control. The cast density is checked periodically during the pour and adjusted instantly to meet the specific requirements of the project. This level of precision is a hallmark of our serv

How does your material help address challenges associated with poor or compressible soil conditions?

In regions where the ground is weak or highly compressible, traditional fill materials can be too heavy, leading to significant settlement or even structural failure over time. Our lightweight cellular concrete is engineered to solve this specific problem. Our material minimizes settlement and enhances the overall stability of the structure. This makes it an ideal choice for bridge abutment fills, roadway fills over poor soils, and landslip repairs. When dealing with the hilly terrain and clay-rich environments often found in the Southeast, utilizing cellular concrete in North America provides

What are the environmental and sustainability benefits of using your lightweight solutions?

We are committed to providing eco-friendly materials. Because our material is so much lighter than traditional alternatives, it requires far less energy to transport and handle. Furthermore, the ability to mix the product on-site using our mobile batch plants dramatically reduces the carbon footprint associated with concrete delivery. Our mixes can also be customized to include industrial by-products like fly ash, as well as lightweight aggregates and fibers, which further enhances the sustainability profile of the installation. Our systems provide superior thermal insulation properties. This
