The argillaceous sequence performs the double function of an impermeable caprock, which prevents the dissipation of heat by the upward convective mass flow of heated fluids, and also a thermal insulator, which prevents the dissipation of heat by conduction, and thus allows the buildup of high temperatures in the reservoir. 7, record 2, English, - thermal%20insulation

Foamed Concrete is an ideal material for trench reinstatement(this is the filling of trenches dug in roads when pipes are laid or repairs are carried out). The traditional methods of filling trenches in roads, i. e. the use of granular fill materials, results in the settlement and damage to both the road and the pipes. With Foamed Concrete there is no settlement; and because Foamed Concrete is very fluid it will fill any voids and cavities in the trench. 3, record 3, English, - trench%20reinstatement
