About Geofoam for Structural & Earthworks Applications
The use of
Geofoam in earthworks and structural applications provides the benefit of reducing both vertical and lateral pressures on below-grade structures. Soil creates nearly 40 pcf of lateral pressure. If a structure is below ground level, this lateral pressure increases by a factor of 10. The use of
Geofoam completely eliminates this lateral pressure. The use of
Geofoam for earthworks and structural applications is easy to install, does not require surcharging, pre-loading or staging and is a cost-effective engineering solution.
