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:
-
Road & Highway Construction
-
Reduces lateral pressure on retaining walls
-
Prevents settlement over soft soils
-
-
Bridge Abutments
-
Light fill behind abutments reduces loads
-
-
Slope Stabilization
-
Prevents landslides by lowering slope weight
-
-
Embankments
-
Quick and stable embankment construction over weak soil
-
-
Utility Protection
-
Insulation and weight reduction around pipelines
-
-
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
