Ideal for areas where weight reduction is necessary! Lightweight and durable expanded polystyrene blocks.
The "EPS method" involves stacking large expanded polystyrene blocks (Kanepal soil blocks) as fill material, effectively utilizing the characteristics of lightweight, compressive strength, water resistance, and self-supporting properties when stacked. This method is ideal for areas where load reduction and soil pressure reduction are necessary, such as embankments on soft ground, steep slope embankments, backfilling for structures, vertical walls, and widening of embankments. It simplifies ground treatment and temporary construction, thereby shortening the overall construction period, and reduces the total construction costs, including maintenance after completion, offering numerous advantages. 【Features】 - Solves issues such as settlement and insufficient bearing capacity on soft ground with lightweight materials. - Excellent self-supporting properties, resulting in minimal lateral deformation even under load. - Superior compressibility, preventing shear failure. - Can be constructed manually due to being made of expanded polystyrene. - Economical as it reduces maintenance costs such as repairs. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
