Overview

This construction method uses polystyrol blocks stacked on top of each other as alternative embankments.

Features

1. Since the density is 1/100 the density of soil and sand, it can be easily worked with on a manual basis and the embankment load on the foundation ground can be substantially reduced.
2. When used as back-filling material, it can reduce the load on structures.
3. Being water-resistant and self-supporting, it requires a minimal amount of land for the site to be used and is economical.

Uses

• Alternative embankments on soft ground
• Backfilling of bridge abutments and other such structures
• Steep alternative embankments on sloping land
