Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is a lightweight geotechnical material which reduces the loads imposed on adjacent and underlying soils and structures.

Traditional earth materials are heavy and can cause settlement, instability or lateral pressures. Other lightweight fill materials are variable in their makeup and are not engineered, due to field execution variables.

EPS Geofoam is among the most versatile lightweight materials available. EPS Geofoam maximizes onsite installation efficiency.

EPS Geofoam significantly reduces axial loads on weaker sub-soils while concurrently reducing or eliminating lateral loads on abutments and foundations.

EPS Geofoam can arrive at the job site prefabricated and ready to place. It is easily inventoried and handled. Installation is not delayed by weather.

Advantages of Using Geofoam
» Extremely light weight reduces lateral or bearing loads
» Predicable engineered performance
» Can be installed in various weather conditions
» Maximizes Installation Efficiency
» Various densities available to meet strength requirements
» Cost-Effective Solution
