Two coverage facts, kept honest.

Ready-mix zone. Volume Concrete’s conventional concrete delivery is Greater Portland Metro — Portland and the surrounding Oregon and southwest Washington cities listed below. Some locations have additional delivery charges. Dispatch confirms that on the call.

Cellular jobs. Lightweight cellular concrete is produced on the job with volumetric trucks and mobile silos, not from a fixed plant batch only. That is why we travel anywhere in the Pacific Northwest — Oregon, Washington, and Idaho — when the mix is Cellular Backfill. Call (971) 219-8604 before you assume a surcharge or a no-go.

Estacada is home base at the city level. We do not publish an Estacada plant street. Billing and postal mail use the Milwaukie address.

FAQ

Cellular concrete questions from Portland Metro and PNW jobs.

Short answers we give contractors and engineers before a pour. Call if the spec or the jobsite is unusual.

What is cellular concrete (cellular grout)?

Cellular concrete — also called cellular grout or lightweight cellular concrete (LDCC) — is a cementitious mix with a foamed cell structure. Volume Concrete makes it as preformed foam plus a Type IL cement slurry. It places as a fluid, then sets in place. The spec you call out is cast density at placement, in pounds per cubic foot. It is not polyurethane foam fill.

What density range do you produce?

The lightest Cellular Backfill mix starts at 27 pcf. We dial density up when the engineer specifies it, typically up to about 100 pcf. A common mid-range job mix is about 38 pcf. Strength follows the mix design — typical packet values for that ~38 pcf example are approximate, not a guarantee.

Where do you place cellular concrete — Portland, Estacada, the PNW?

Home base is Estacada, Oregon (city-level — we do not publish a plant street). Billing and postal mail go to 4230 SE King Rd. #211, Milwaukie, OR 97222. Volume Concrete’s everyday ready-mix zone is Greater Portland Metro. Cellular jobs travel farther: we take volumetric trucks and mobile silos anywhere in the Pacific Northwest — Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Call (971) 219-8604 to confirm the jobsite.

How do I order or get a quote?

Call dispatch at (971) 219-8604. That is the fastest path. Have cast density, permeable or not, volume, and access ready if you know them. You can also email billing@volumeconcrete.com or use the quote form on this site. Hours: Mon–Fri 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM · Sat 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM · Closed Sunday.

What is the difference between permeable and non-permeable mixes?

Both are available. Permeable cellular grout is designed so water can move through the set mass. Non-permeable (non-permeating) mixes are used when the fill should not act as a drain path — a common callout for slip-liner and pipe decommissioning. The engineer specifies which one. Sand is optional on either.

How is cellular grout different from CLSM or regular flowable fill?

Conventional CLSM / flowable fill is still a relatively heavy cementitious fill. Cellular grout is foamed down to a specified low density so it stays light and pumpable — starting at 27 pcf instead of soil-like unit weights. It is cementitious, not a polymer foam. Confirm design values with the project engineer; this is not a waterproofing claim.
