GEOFOAM
Beardsell Limited is a Leading manufacturer of Geofoam (EPS) products in India. Geofoam is a rigid moulded expanded polystyrene (EPS). That has been used in construction of roads & other geotechnical applications.
EPS geofoam manufactured by Beardsell Limited is a lightweight foam that's developed into blocks and commonly used as a structural geofoam backfill.
Uses of Geofoam Blocks- Made for project locations with weak soil
- Perfect for projects with short timelines
- Provides soil frost protection
- Extremely high strength to density ratio
- High compression rates
- A natural thermal insulator
- Easily transported
- Costs less
- Strength increases with density. (Normally use as per the technical requirement -16 to 32 kg density)
- Shock absorbing capacity depends on the bead size processing conditions as well as density
Water Resistant
- Provides negligible capillarity
- Water or water vapours have negligible effect on the mechanical properties of Geofoam.
- Geofoam offer dimensional stability remaining unaffected within a wide range of ambient factors
- Maximum dimensional change is less than 2%
- The uniform closed cellular structure of Geofoam is highly resistant to heat flow
- Geofoam is not aqua toxic
- Geofoam is inert in the soil
- Does not affect ground water quality hence relatively clean construction adjacent to waterways
- EPS Sheets – Used for Expansion joints & also use as shock absorption in bridges
- EPS Beads – i) Used for lightweight concrete & concrete blocks for construction
ii) Light weight Sandwich Panels of concrete for Construction - EPS Slabs & Blocks - Used for dead wall gap and void filling
- New highway and road construction
- Temporary road construction
- Bridge abutments
- Landslide areas with weak soil
- Artificial landscapes / Gardening
- Fill (Roads, Parking lots etc.)
- Society & Public Garden
- Airfield pavements
- Sound reducing barrier walls
