EPS Geofoam offers a high-strength, low-weight alternative to traditional fill materials for bridge abutments. Its exceptional compressive resistance ensures it can withstand the substantial loads from vehicular traffic and bridge structures. By significantly reducing the vertical and lateral pressures on underlying soils, EPS Geofoam minimizes settlement and enhances the longevity of bridge foundations. Additionally, its resistance to moisture and decay makes it a durable choice for long-term infrastructure projects.
Constructing overpass embankments in areas with soft or compressible soils presents unique challenges. EPS Geofoam addresses these by providing a lightweight fill solution that reduces the load on underlying soils, thereby mitigating settlement issues. Its ease of handling and installation accelerates construction timelines, and its adaptability allows for precise shaping to meet specific design requirements. Moreover, EPS Geofoam’s inert properties ensure it does not leach harmful substances into the environment, aligning with sustainable construction practices.
