Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction. A filler slab is where we replace a portion of concrete in the tension zone of the slab with inexpensive lightweight filler materials such as clay roof mangalore tiles bricks earthen pots coconut shells glass bottles or any other creative material you can think of.
