EXPOL GeoFoam
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is used extensively for lightweight fill in problematic situations such as expansive soils and soft substrates. EXPOL GeoFoam is supplied in a range of densities and sizes to suit the engineering design.
Choosing the correct density of EXPOL GeoFoam will depend on the compressive loads applied during its service life. All blocks can be cut to suit different project specifications, including angles and 2 dimensional profiles.
- EXPOL GeoFoam
- Advantages
- Applications
- Chemical Resistance
GeoFoam is a lightweight material, manufactured from EPS beads and moulded into blocks. Used on construction sites, roads, bridges, and other areas where soft substrates occur over a building site requiring lightweight fill.
Advantages
- Lightweight
- High compressive strength
- Cost effective
- Durable
- Weighs 1% of conventional fill
- Eliminates lateral pressure and vertical movement
- All clean waste can be recovered for recycling
Applications
- Construction
- Road embankments
- Bridge abutments
- Causeways
- Retaining wall fill
- Replacement of poor soils
- Landscaping
- Geotechnical fill
- Frost heave protection
- Sites with limited access
Chemical resistance
EPS block is resistant to soaps and inorganic substances
such as dilute acids, alkalis and salt solutions.
It is attacked by organic solvent, including hydrocarbon fuels
and lubricants.
