Used for decades in engineering construction in North America, Europe and Asia, STYROFOAMâ„¢ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation products have proven to be economical, long-term solutions for geotechnical applications such as:

Airports/Highways/Railroads
Culverts
Ice Rinks
   Insulated Refrigerant Lines
Lightweight Fill
Transmission Line Towers
Utility Lines

In regions where underlying soils are prone to frost action, airport runways, highways, railways, building foundations, and even buried utilities run the risk of damage from frost heaving and thaw weakening. In other situations, a lightweight fill is needed to stabilize foundation soils in bridge approaches and retaining walls.
