Abstract:
Provided is a microtrench fill comprising cement, a polymer, and a colorant. Also provided is a method of using the microtrench fill to fill a microtrench in a roadway.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of continuously filling and sealing a microtrench containing an optical fiber and/or innerduct/microduct on a roadway to return the roadway to substantially an original state with a filled and sealed microtrench comprising:\n forming a flowable concrete-based fill in a fill device by mixing together a cement, a polymer bonding agent, an aggregate, and water, wherein the polymer bonding agent provides adhesion to the existing roadway, the flowable concrete-based fill having a final set time of 2 hour or less, and the flowable concrete-based fill is configured to flow into the microtrench from a fill device; and continuously filling the microtrench with the flowable concrete-based fill material from the fill device to simultaneously cover the optical fiber and/or innerduct/microduct, fill and seal the microtrench and return the roadway substantially back to an original state with the filled and sealed microtrench.
