Geofoam

It is a comprehensive solution primarily used for soil stabilization. Its application involves placing high-compressive-strength polystyrene blocks within the embankment. It is used on highly compressible soils, which, due to their low density, transmit virtually no pressure to the subsoil, thus reducing settlement.

Main advantages

  • Ultralight material.
  •  It reduces lateral forces.
  •  Rigidity through time.
  •  It reduces pressure on the subsoil.
