		Cellular Concrete Technology Tilcon Applies Advanced Cellular Concrete Technology for Hartford Magnet School Long Description Tilcon poured over 1,000 yards of cellular concrete as a supportive material for concrete slabs at a Hartford Magnet School’s new gymnasium. Cellular concrete, an advanced geotechnical material, is a low-density structural component usually designed between 20 and 60 pounds per cubic foot depending on the application. Because of this, cellular concrete is often used, as in the Magnet School’s case, as a lightweight material replacing unstable, non-supportive soils; thus providing a strong base on which the concrete slabs can be placed.
