Product Features
Geofoam is a construction material with superior properties that has been used in geotechnical engineering around the world since the 1960s. Geofoam weighs approximately 1% of standard backfill materials. Geofoam (lightweight backfill) technology was first developed in 1972 by the "Norwegian Road Research Laboratory" to reduce settlement in highway applications.
lightweight filling material for the purpose of filling the earth. Geofoam, a lightweight filling material that started to be used in the 1970s, was first used in Scandinavian countries and later in Western Europe,
It has been applied in America and Japan. Lightweight filling material geofoam reduces the loads on the ground and structures and reduces ground settlements. Geofoam, which is produced in blocks, is produced in different shapes and sizes and with different strengths to meet the needs of the project.
Geofoam also offers innovative solutions for problems such as earthquake protection, shock, noise and vibration damping.
