EPS foam for infrastructure projects
EPS foam can support infrastructure projects where lightweight fill, void forming, load reduction or shaped polystyrene components are required.
Foam Technologies supplies geofoam blocks, construction foam blocks, void formers and cut EPS profiles for civil and infrastructure applications across Perth and Western Australia.
Industry overview
Lightweight material for civil and infrastructure work
EPS geofoam as a lightweight block fill material for civil engineering projects including roads, railways, stadiums and bridge abutments.
- Piling CylinderÂ
EPS can be shaped into forms for secant pile walls
-
Seismic & Vibration Damping:
Acts as a buffer in seismic zones or for noise/vibration reduction near railways/highways -
Retaining Walls & Buried Structures:
Backfill for retaining walls, reducing earth pressure. Also protects culverts, pipelines, and utilities by lowering overburden weight
Project fit
Where EPS foam can help infrastructure projects
Load reduction
Geofoam and void formers can reduce dead load compared with soil, rock or solid concrete volumes.
Block fill
EPS blocks can be stacked, shaped and combined to form required profiles.
Site adjustment
Lightweight EPS can be cut or trimmed when the design and site conditions allow.
