Uses of Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA)

The environmental impacts of obtaining primary raw materials are becoming less and less acceptable. Using PFA (otherwise known as fly ash) from RWE Power International helps to reduce the demand for virgin aggregates and assists you in meeting your recycling targets and reducing your carbon footprint.

The properties of PFA make it an ideal, cost effective alternative to primary aggregates across a range of applications. The uses of pfa include:

Grouting

Filling voids created by old mines or redundant quarries and improving the bearing capacity of soils.

For use as a load-bearing structural and bulk fill when building embankments and as a sub-base during road construction, as well as soil stabilisation.

Used in large-scale earthworks or the reclamation of derelict land.
