CBS (Cement Bound Sand)

Cement Bound Sand (CBS) is a weak 14:1 sand to cement mix, which is predominately used as a backfill material for electrical cable installations in trenches. CBS not only protects the cable, it also reduces moisture migration removing the need to limit external cable surface temperature during the summer. Plus, due to the weak mix it can still be easily broken out if access or removal of the cable is required.
