Selected Engineering Properties and Applications of EPS Geofoam.
TRB’s Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web Document 65: Geofoam Applications in the Design and Construction of Highway Embankments presents a design guideline, and material, for the use of geofoam in roadway embankments and bridge approaches.
TRB Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 529: Guideline and Recommended Standard for Geofoam Applications in Highway Embankments includes a design guideline and recommended standard for geofoam applications in the highway embankments.
ELA supplies professional grade foaming agents, foam generators and other equipment necessary for the production of foam concrete. We also provide assistance with geotechnical fills, backfill and precast production.
Elastizell EF is a low-density (load-reducing) fill for applications such as behind retaining walls, at bridge approaches, over culverts and under roadways, and over poor soils.
The Geofoam Research Center (GRC) at Syracuse University is dedicated to research of geofoam properties, development of innovative applications, dissemination of technical information and technology transfer through education.

What makes this material unique is its ability to allow water to freely drain. Geofill LD Pervious has densities ranging from 20 to 30 PCF and strengths of 50 to 200 psi. It is primarily used as a load reducing fill where drainage is needed.
Foaming agent, foam generators, production equipment, and consulting services for the production of lightweight foam (cellular) concrete. For geotechnical fills on highway, building, underground and mining construction, blocks and panels.
