Why Geofoam Is One Of The Best-Selling Lightweight Fill Materials

Geofoam is an incredibly durable and cost-effective material used in a variety of construction projects, from retaining walls, to rooftop garden boxes, to tiered stadium seating. It is commonly made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, which makes it lightweight and ideal for projects where a reduction of material weight is essential.

How Is Geofoam Used?

Geofoam can be used in a number of construction applications. Since the density of geofoam is 50 to 100 times lower than soil, it is an ideal lightweight fill material in soil and road embankment projects. It can be used as backfill behind retaining structures, as it reduces lateral pressure, provides better waterproofing, and reduces ground settling, all without adding significant load.

When used for slope stabilisation, the existing soil is removed and replaced with EPS geofoam. Since it significantly reducing stress to underlying sub-grades, it can be used on both soil and rocky slopes.

Geofoam is also an excellent choice as pavement insulation for both highway and airport roadways, and provides a lightweight, stable base in construction over utility lines.

Where weight reduction is vital, geofoam is an ideal material choice. When used to make roof-top planters for urban gardens, it provides a water-resistance medium that does not add significant load to the roof structure. A popular material in stadiums, theatres, and gymnasiums, geofoam is the fill material of choice for places where tiered seating is needed.

Geofoam is easy to use and can be installed without the special lifting equipment usually needed with steel, wood, concrete and other heavy materials. Its high compressive resistance and low weight make it effective for both new construction and renovation projects.

Why Use Geofoam?

Saving time and money is always important on any construction project. Using EPS geofoam blocks accomplishes this in several ways:

First, and perhaps the most significant, is reduced labour and equipment costs. Since geofoam is so light and easy to install, it can quickly be carried to the work site and set in place by a labourer. If alterations are needed for blocks to fit properly, there is no need to send them back to the factory or to arrange for special on-site equipment. EPS geofoam can easily be trimmed using a hot wire cutter or hand saw.

Geofoam can be installed in most weather conditions and there is no need for soil compaction and stabilisation before blocks can be set into place.

Safety of employees and the environment is a top priority on the construction site. Geofoam is lightweight and does not require heavy lifting to set it place, reducing on-the-job injuries.

The blocks are non-toxic and do not attract animals or insects. Since EPS geofoam does not provide nutrients, plant roots will not infiltrate the foam blocks and compromise structural integrity. In addition, there are no negative effects on soil and groundwater quality, and geofoam reduces runoff to site-adjacent water sources.

When it comes to customisation, geofoam is beyond comparison. Companies like Foam Technologies make expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam blocks that come in standard block sizes, or that can be factory cut into custom shapes and sizes depending on the specific needs of the project. When you consider all its advantages, it’s easy to see why geofoam is one of the best-selling lightweight fill materials for new and remodelling of landscape features in construction projects.

GREENMAX machines can recycle waste EPS into new foam products

The quality of EPS material is useful in packaging-cheap, light, and able to fill space in boxes, but this makes recycling and transportation uneconomical.

Actually, 100% of the EPS can be recycled, but most municipalities don’t want to spend money to collect it. Philadelphia and Baltimore provide EPS recycling for materials provided by municipal recycling centers, do not provide roadside pick-up foam.

Because of its labor-intensive characteristics, high cost and lack of proper recycling channels, the EPS recycling rate in the world accounts for only about 15% of the total consumption of plastics so far. However, due to the limitation of petroleum resources in the world, it is of great significance to consider the conservation of earth resources and the recovery of plastic foam. To recycle more plastic waste, many countries are now working to develop new technologies to recycle plastic solid waste to reduce the cost of recycling EPS waste.

GREENMAX has several machines for waste EPS recycling, including an EPS compactor or EPS Melting Machine. These machines can handle different types of EPS waste, which will be a good helper for waste plastic recycling. GREENMAX Polystyrene Compactors can crush large foams, and compress crushed foam into blocks at a ratio of 50:1. The EPS Melting Machine works with melting technology to make foam ingots up to a ratio of 90:1. Both of the two machines are efficient.

The recycled EPS can be used for household insulation, plastic clothes hanger, and photo frame, and other products. Flynn said the foam could eventually be used in building materials, including molds for concrete and “geofoam” for stabilizing and building ground under foundations or road embankments.

Different Types of Geotextile

If we talk about Geotextile, then one cannot ignore the fact that Rajdhani Syntex is the best Geobag manufacturer in India. They are famous when it comes to the manufacturing of geotextile and Geobags as they have years of experience in this field. However, let's continue to discuss different types of geotextiles. One can classify geotextile in two ways, and they are according to the manufacture and time of use.

Types of Geotextile Based on Manufacture

One can manufacture by weaving or by knitting it or by using the nonwoven technologies. One can classify geotextile in the following ways:

✔     Woven Geotextiles

With the interlacement of the two sets of yarns that too at the right angle through the knitting process, then woven geotextiles are produced. These textiles have higher modulus and strength in the weft and warp direction, and at rupture, they have low elongation.

✔     Non-woven Geotextiles

These geotextiles are made from continuous filaments or the staple fibers and are thicker than the woven geotextile. These can be produced in various bonding techniques like needle punching, chemical and thermal bonding.

✔     Knitted Geotextiles

When the interloping of one or more yarn is done in the knitting process, then knitted geotextile is produced. These have high extensibility and low strength as compared to woven geotextiles.

✔     Stitch Bonded Geotextile

When the interlocking of yarns or fibers or both is done either through sewing or stitching is called as the stitch-bonded geotextiles. You can produce the heavyweight and strong geotextile rapidly through this bonding process. Manufactured tubular geotextiles can be in cylindrical and tubular fashion without any longitudinal seam.

✔     Geonets

The open grid-like material that is formed by two sets of the parallel, coarse and extruded polymeric strands that are intersecting at an acute angle is geonets. This network will form a sheet with the in-plane porosity so that it can be used for carrying the relatively large fluid or gas flow.

✔     Geogrids

The material which has open grid-like material is called geogrids, and they are mainly used in the reinforcement of the soil.

✔     Geomembranes

The continuous flexible sheets that are manufactured from synthetic materials are geomembranes. These are impermeable and can be used as the liner for the gas and fluid containment as well as vapor barriers.

✔     Geocomposites

These are made from the combination of two or more geosynthetic types such as geotextile-geogrid; geotextile-geonet; or geonet-geomembrane.

✔     GCLs

These are Geocomposites which are prefabricated along with the bentonite clay layer. It is typically incorporated between the top, and bottom layer of the geotextile or the geotextile bentonite is bonded to the geomembrane.

✔     Geocells

These are thick 3-D networks that are constructed from the strips of the polymeric sheet, and then for forming the interconnected cell, the strips are joined together. These are then filled with concrete or soil.

✔     Geopipes

These are the perforated or the solid-wall polymeric pipes which are used for drainage of gas and liquids.

✔     Geofoam

For creating the geofoam slabs or the blocks, expansion of polystyrene foam is used in the low-density network.

Types of Geotextile Based on Time of Use

✔     1st Generation

Earlier geotextiles were manufactured for the carpet, and industrial sacking bit later they were used for manufacturing geo technical purposes and were called as the 1st generation geotextile.

✔     2nd Generation

These are the geotextiles that were manufactured for specific geo-technical purposes but without adopting modern manufacturing technology.

✔     3rd Generation

These are the geotextiles that were manufactured, produced and designed for meeting the end-use of the client and were actual geo-textile.

You may be thinking from where can you get all these types of geotextile that too at affordable rates then the answer is Rajdhani Syntex. They are the best geotextile and Geobag Supplier in Bihar which can help you in meeting your requirement of the geotextiles and other geo fabrics.

What is Cellular Concrete?

Cellular concrete is a low-density fill material. It is in geotechnical applications. To make cellular concrete, pre-formed stable foam blends with a slurry made of cement. Cellular concrete is a foam cement or lightweight flowable fill.

There are many types of lightweight cementitious materials, but the significant difference between those materials and cellular concrete is the external foam used on cellular cement to reduce its density.

Uses of Cellular Cement

Cellular concrete has numerous uses. One primary application throughout the world is in construction jobs, where the concrete is used to build things like the roof deck and floor deck. For roof decks, it is meant to reduce the possible weight and provide thermal and sound insulation. Cellular concrete floor decks reduce weight and help maintain the quality of the floor.

Cellular concrete can replace gypsum-based mixes or level them. It is in geotechnical applications such as void fill abandonments. Besides construction jobs, cellular concrete can be used in architecture applications and so much more.

Other Uses

Cellular concrete is used in many other applications, including:

Fencing panels along highways. It's used because of its ability to minimize sounds coming from outside in addition to blocking outsiders from viewing. You can also save on its weight because of its light.

It was filling culvert trenches. Cellular concrete is the best for culvert trench fills because it does not allow the soil to settle later or cause dips inroads.

It's an excellent choice for the construction of interior walls. It reduces weight and is more affordable. It is also more soundproof and fire-resistant.

Cellular concrete is the best for patios, porch decks, and sidewalks because it is lesser in weight and more affordable.

It is an excellent option for any applications that need a flowable fill or geofoam.

Why Use Cellular Concrete from Kilgore Companies?

Cellular concrete from Kilgore Companies is the most preferred fill material because:

It has better insulative properties.

Its more pumpable

It flows smoothly, which makes it ideal for construction jobs.

It's lightweight and therefore easy to handle

Unknown Facts About Geotextile

Summary

Picture Courtesy: Comsyn

The application of Geotextile is changing rapidly as research shows results and manufacturing processes improve. Fundamental considerations in design and installation are also to be discussed. India is a large producer of jute, jute is a low cost, renewable, biodegradable and eco-friendly product for making geotextile.

History of Geotextile Application Textiles were first applied to roadways long back, in the days of the Pharaohs. Even they struggled with unstable soils that rutted or washed away. They found that natural fibers, improved road quality when mixed with soils, particularly unstable soils. In the 1920s it is said that the state of South Carolina used a cotton textile to reinforce the underlying materials on a road with poor quality soils. Several years later it is found that the textile in good workable condition.  In the 1960s, when synthetic fibers became more available, textiles were considered more seriously for roadway construction and maintenance.

Different Categories of Geosynthetics

Geotextiles- These are flexible textile fabrics used to provide filtration, separation or reinforcement in soil, rock and waste material. Geomembranes- These are impermeable polymeric sheets used as a carrier for liquid or solid waste.

Geogrids- Stiff or flexible polymer grid-like sheets used primarily as reinforcement of unusable soil.

Geonets- stiff polymer nets like sheets with an in-plane opening used primarily as a drainage material within landfills or soil and rock masses. Geosynthetic clay liners- Clay layers incorporated between geotextile and geomembrane and used as a barrier for liquid or solid waste containment.

Geopipes- Perforated or solid wall polymeric pipes used for the drainage of various liquids.

Geofoam- A newer category of product is geofoam. Geofoam is manufactured into large blocks which are stacked to form a lightweight thermally insulating mass buried within a soil or pavement structure.

Conclusion Certain fundamental considerations are necessary for success in any application of Geotextiles. We must know the soils to select the proper geotextile in road construction and maintenance. In many installations, permeability may override concern for durability and resistance to bursting, puncturing and tearing.
