Its combination of light weight and compressive resistance makes Elevation™ geofoam an attractive fill material for a wide variety of transportation applications, from slope and soil stabilization to roadbed and pavement insulation. Just-in-time deliveries minimize double-handling and pre-staging of blocks.
Elevation™ geofoam is engineered to deliver the highest level of stability for transportation or structural projects and clean, quiet fill for hospital and occupied commercial projects:
- 100 times lighter than soil
- Compressive strength @ 1% deformation ranges from 2.2 psi to 18.6 psi
- No physical strength or dimensional stability degradation from freeze-thaw cycles
- Prefabricated or custom production to meet specific project requirements or easily shaped in-field to site install requirements
- No post-installation maintenance required
- Closed-cell structure inhibits moisture absorption and the risk of mold or mildew growth
- All blocks trimmed for easy stacking of multiple layers and clearly labeled to indicate block location and density for smooth installation
- EPA-approved termiticide meets the strictest certifications in the market
- Shop drawings included, when necessary, that provide a graphic, block-by-block layout
- No preloading or pre-staging required, for shortened construction schedule
- In-factory block certification offsets time-consuming, costly onsite material quality inspection
- Environmentally friendly, contains no HFCs, HCFCs or pentane and emits no leachates into the environment
