Ground treatment and temporary construction work are simplified, resulting in a shortened overall construction period! Reduced total construction costs after completion.
The "EPS method" involves stacking large blocks of expanded polystyrene as fill material, effectively utilizing the characteristics of the material such as lightweight, compressive strength, water resistance, and self-supporting properties when stacked. It can be applied in areas where there is a need to reduce load and soil pressure, such as fill on soft ground, fill on steep slopes, backfilling for structures, vertical walls, and widening of embankments. The overall construction period can be shortened as ground treatment and temporary works are simplified. Additionally, it offers numerous benefits, including a reduction in overall construction costs, including maintenance after completion. 【Features】 ■ Ultra-lightweight and wide applicability - Unit volume weight is 0.12 to 0.35 kN/m3 - When applied as fill on soft ground, it can significantly reduce load and solve issues such as settlement and insufficient bearing capacity of the soft ground. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Other Features】 ■ Independence - When ESP blocks are stacked upright, a stable surface is formed, and even when a load is applied on top, lateral deformation is minimal. - Can be installed at the back of structures to significantly reduce earth pressure. ■ Compressibility - High compressive strength, possessing the necessary strength for road embankment materials. - Concepts such as adhesion and internal friction angle do not apply; blocks are constructed as compressive materials. ■ Workability - Manual construction is possible, with a short construction period, allowing for installation in areas where the use of large machinery is difficult, such as soft ground, steep slopes, and narrow spaces. - Easy to process according to site conditions. ■ Shortened Construction Period & Cost-effectiveness - Ground treatment and temporary construction can be simplified, reducing the overall construction period. - Reduction in overall construction costs, including maintenance and management after completion. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Reinforced soil refers to the technology used to build soil vertically high or to prevent collapse when soil is excavated. It is an essential technology in Japan, which is narrow and prone to earthquakes. Hirose Reinforced Soil Co., Ltd. also engages in civil engineering consulting using these methods.
