Redi-Fill is the superior alternative to conventional backfill operations.

It flows. Redi-Fill goes right from the truck into the void, working its way around pipes and other underground features in one continuous pour.

It's fast. This fill self-consolidates in just 20 minutes. You can pave or build on it the same day.

It's strong. Redi-Fill delivers strengths of 4,000 to 5,000 pounds per square foot. 

It lasts. Redi-Fill stays stable, even under constant stress. The City of Indianapolis found that 60% to 80% of street repairs using conventional backfill failed due to settling. With Redi-Fill, the failure rate is now zero!

It saves time and money. Crews can backfill in minutes instead of days without special compacting equipment. And workers don't have to get down in the hole. Less time and fewer steps mean big savings all around.

It's diggable. Even after placement, you can put a shovel into Redi-Fill to make adjustments as needed.

It works year-round. Redi-Fill can be placed even in sub-zero temperatures -- and it gains strength evenly in all weather.

Here are some examples of how Redi-Fill solves problems, adds strength, and shaves days and dollars from key projects:

  • At world-famous Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, Redi-Fill provided stability around complex pipe networks serving new buildings.

  • Nicor, the natural gas utility for northern Illinois, uses Redi-Fill to reopen streets fast after emergency repairs to gas lines.

  • The Indianapolis Water Company uses nearly 20,000 yards of Redi-Fill annually, relying on it for every job requiring backfill under pavement.

  • The City of Chicago has stabilized miles of vaulted sidewalks with Redi-Fill. City officials have approved it for a host of other street repairs.

  • Over 100,000 yards of Redi-Fill were used to anchor pipes installed deep under runways at the Indianapolis International Airport.
