Geofoam Retaining Wall
When constructing a steep slope, using soil alone behind a retaining wall poses a risk of excessive weight, compromises ground stability and settling along with other unknowns. Lightweight EPS Geofoam is becoming more and more popular among engineers for use in retaining wall construction when sourcing an affordable, reliable lightweight material.
High compressive strength
Reduces lateral pressure
Cost-effective
Geofoam in Retaining Wall Applications
Geofoam is becoming more popular among engineers because of its lightweight properties compared to other options of soil, sand and stone which can weigh 100 times more than Geofoam. The use of stacking Geofoam blocks offers a lightweight fill that will not wash away over time or add excessive weight to an area of land or buried structures. In many cases, EPS Geofoam is more cost-effective than other soil substitutes.
Why EPS?
EPS has high R-value retention, is fully recyclable, and is easily customizable. EPS is made without ozone-harming compounds or any kind of dye. It is available in a variety of compressive strengths and has superior bonding capabilities. Best of all, EPS will save you time and money. So the real question is: Why not EPS?
