In - Situ Filling 
Foam concrete is used primarily as a void filler, its high rate of expansion and fluid properties often make it a much more ecenomical filling material than stiff low cement concrete, or hardcore and loose materials that require compaction.

ADVANTAGES OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE  Helps in reduction of dead loads.  Increases the progress of the building.  Lowers the haulage and handling cost.  Overall weight of the building is reduced resulting in the corresponding reduction in the size of the foundation.  The formwork needs to withstand a lower pressure than ordinary concrete.  Has low thermal conductivity. A property, which improves with decreasing density.  Result in enhanced thermal comforts and lower power consumption.  Gives an outlet for industrial waste such as fly ash, slag etc. CLASSIFICATION OF LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE Basically there is only one method for making concrete light i.e. by the inclusion of air in concrete. This is achieved in actual practice by three different ways:  By using porous lightweight aggregate having a specific gravity less than 2.6. This type of concrete is known as lightweight aggregate concrete  By introducing large voids within the concrete or mortar mass by means of gas or air bubbles. These voids should be clearly distinguished from the extremely fine voids produced by air entrainment. This type of concrete is generally known as aerated, cellular, foamed, or gas concrete.  By omitting the fine aggregate from the mix so that a large number of interstitial voids is present; normal weight coarse aggregate is used. This concrete is known as no-fines concrete
