Extremely lightweight with a density of about 1/100 that of sand! Processing to match the slope shape can also be easily done on-site.
The technology is a cushioning method using expanded polystyrene for rockfall mitigation. The "SAM Foam," made of expanded polystyrene, is extremely lightweight with a density about 1/100 that of sand, significantly reducing dead weight. Additionally, due to its lightweight nature, it does not require large construction machinery for transportation and installation, allowing for manual labor. Furthermore, it can be easily processed on-site to match the slope shape. 【Features of SAM Foam】 ■ Significantly reduces dead weight ■ No lateral pressure occurs even when loads are applied to the top through stacking ■ Does not bond with water, resulting in very little water absorption over time ■ There is almost no need to consider the effects of water even under high humidity conditions ■ Lightweight, so it does not require large construction machinery for transportation and installation *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
