Advanced Geofoam Ground Stabilisation, Giving you maximum control of your project’s design, timeline, and costs. Geofoam is a high performing fill material made from EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), designed and engineered specifically for civil and commercial building construction around Australia. Its durability and exceptional strength to weight ratio, allow the polystyrene void fill to resist heavy structural loads and reduce underlying soil stresses for a variety of applications, such as lightweight road construction, bridge abutments, elevation changes, foundations and many more. Geofoam Expanded Polystyrene Civil Engineering Void Fill & Void Former, What is EPS (Geo-foam)? Expanded polystyrene (EPS) Geofoam has been used as a geotechnical material since the 1960s. EPS Geofoam is approximately 1% the weight of soil and less than 10% the weight of other lightweight fill alternatives. As a lightweight fill, EPS Geo-foam reduces the loads imposed on adjacent and underlying soils and structures. EPS Geo-foam is not a general soil fill replacement material but is intended to solve engineering challenges. How is EPS (Geo-foam) Used?
The use of EPS typically translates into benefits to construction schedules and lowers the overall cost of construction because it is easy to handle during construction, often without the need for special equipment, and is unaffected by occurring weather conditions. In addition, EPS Geo-foam can be easily cut and shaped on a project site, which further reduces jobsite challenges.
