What you mean by Geofoam?

                                                          

 Geofoam is a lightweight, engineered foam material—usually made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)—used in construction and geotechnical applications to solve a variety of design challenges related to weight, stability, and insulation.

Key Characteristics of Geofoam:

  • Lightweight: 50 to 100 times lighter than soil, reducing load on substructures.

  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Can bear heavy loads without adding pressure to the subgrade.

  • Moisture Resistant: Especially in XPS geofoam.

  • Easy to Cut & Install: Comes in blocks and is easily shaped on-site.

  • Durable & Long-Lasting: Chemically stable and resistant to decay.

Applications of Geofoam:

  1. Road & Highway Construction

    • Reduces lateral pressure on retaining walls

    • Prevents settlement over soft soils

  2. Bridge Abutments

    • Light fill behind abutments reduces loads

  3. Slope Stabilization

    • Prevents landslides by lowering slope weight

  4. Embankments

    • Quick and stable embankment construction over weak soil

  5. Utility Protection

    • Insulation and weight reduction around pipelines

  6. Green Roofs & Landscaping

    • Used as a base to reduce overall load


🔹 Advantages Over Traditional Fill Materials:

  • Reduces construction time and labor costs

  • Controls settlement and lateral pressure

  • Environmentally friendly (recyclable EPS)

  • Minimizes impact on underground utilities
