Geofom – Lightweight Fill for Soil Stabilization and Construction
Geofom is an engineered foam material made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). It serves as a lightweight alternative to traditional backfill materials in construction projects, especially in areas with weak soils or where reducing structural loads is required.
📐 Technical Specifications
- Material: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
- Density: Extremely low (100 times lighter than regular soil)
- Dimensions: Large blocks, shapeable according to design
- Strength: High compressive resistance despite light weight
- Flexibility: Easy to cut and shape without heavy equipment
🛠️ Common Applications
- Raising floors without overloading foundations
- Backfilling around tunnels or sensitive structures
- Airport and railway projects
- Reducing ground settlement in clayey areas
✅ Advantages of Geofom
- Significantly reduces soil load
- Resistant to weather and environmental factors
- No need for heavy installation equipment
- Ensures long-term structural stability
⚠️ Important Notes
- Soil properties must be studied before using Geofom
- Installed on a leveled surface with side fixation as per design
- Best suited for projects requiring reduced structural weight
- Recommended to be installed by specialized engineers for optimal performance
