EPS Geofoam material is used in ground fill applications where a lightweight, engineered fill material is required to reduce stresses on underlying soils.  It has been used in applications worldwide for over 30 years.   EPS Geofoam is a cellular plastic material that is strong but has a very low density - 1% of traditional earth materials.  It is produced in block form and is easily positioned at the work site.  EPS Geofoam is unaffected by normally occurring weather at the time of installation and will retain its physical properties under engineered conditions of use.

EPS Geofoam is commonly used in the following applications.

• Embankments
• side-hill fill
• Approach fill (bridge abutments)
• General fill (roadways, parking, etc.)
• Median and sound barriers
