Geofoam is made of EPS, which is an inert polymer that suits a permanent burial environment. It’s super lightweight with impressively long-term compressive strength rigid plastic block, uses as construction backfill to replace soil, reducing the body mass by 99% with compressive resistance up to 280 kPa at 1% deflection.

Geofoam finds applications in civil engineering to support conventional surcharge on weak ground, to reduce preload timing, to protect buried utilities and to save overall cost. Construction becomes more efficient when importing fill and heavy compaction equipment are not needed, particularly in situation of limited space when EPS is self-standing, operation becomes simpler, lighter, safer and tidier.
