Geofoam is manufactured into large lightweight blocks, that vary in size, and made from EPS -Expanded Polystyrene Beads-.
It is a lightweight, and extremely rigid foam material, Famous for its characteristics of lightweight fill, compressible inclusions, thermal insulation, drainage, and more…
EPS Geofoam is 100 times lighter than most soils, and 20 to 30 times lighter than other lightweight void fill materials and provides superior structural properties in many applications. Which made EPS Geofoam the ideal alternative for all filling materials.
Geofoam Blocks are used in many various applications, such as:
EPS Geofoam is a lightweight fill material used in construction as a replacement for conventional soil, sand, concrete, or stone fill materials.
It is 100 times lighter than conventional fill, and 20 times lighter than other lightweight fill alternatives. And reduces vertical loads on the structure.
With their great compressive strength EPS Geofoam Blocks can accommodate almost any required design load.
It is used in all void-filling applications, like, bridge abutments, highway constructions, Landscaping, Landslide, and Slope filling.
EPS Geofoam Blocks are increasingly selected as it is the fastest and most ideal Void filling solution, due to their lightweight and cost-effective features.
It’s widely used in floor raising for stages, theaters, stadiums, platforms, and more…
Geofoam Blocks can be used to create many landscaping shapes and even hills. Since it is about a hundred times lighter than soil, it does not add any unnecessary weight to the structures below it, such as parking lots, Golf playgrounds, hills, slopes, artificial fountains, waterfalls, and lakes…
Geofoam is used to reduce the vertical stresses on pipes and other sensitive utilities. by decreasing the weight on top of the pipes and other utilities, which prevents any potential issues, such as collapses or breakages.
Using Geofoam in embankment constructions, reduces necessary side slopes greatly, which can increase the usable space on either side.
With the EPS Geofoam having a low water absorption, it allows building these embankments on differential settlement soils without being affected.
In addition, the maintenance costs of Geofoam embankments are significantly lower compared to embankments using natural soil or other void-filling materials.
Geofoam blocks are usually manufactured and produced, into the typical sizes that fit the project’s requirements ( 3′ x 4′ x 8′, or bigger).
