EPACK EPS is popularly known as one of the best materials to manufacture buoys, pontoons, and Floating Docks as it has excellent physical properties. Moreover, it is light in weight and has good buoyancy and resilience properties. Pontoons are simply hollow, watertight vessels. When you have pontoons in great size, they are very buoyant and can support a weight equivalent to the amount of water they displace, even when the pontoons are made of heavy material such as concrete. Our various modular floating pontoons are ideal for water sports such as sailing, canoeing, rowing, water skiing, etc. They offer strength and comfort to users. The assembly and maintenance is also very easy.

The government is set to test a new strategy to build highways, using geofoam - or giant lightweight polystyrene blocks - in a bid to slash construction time and costs and increase the life span of roads by reducing the risk of rain-triggered damage. Officials said the Union ministry of road transport and highways had cleared a proposal to use Thermocol, a popular geofoam brand, as the filler for the base in place of soil, as practised in many western countries. "We want to experiment with this western model for highways that we're told could bring down the construction cost by 30 per cent and drastically cut construction time," road transport secretary Vijay Chhibber said. A senior official in the ministry's highway construction division said several countries in Europe, the US and Japan had been using EPS Thermocol for road construction for the past seven years. The defence ministry's Border Roads Organisation, which constructs roads along strategic and border areas of the country, is known to have used EPS Thermocol Blocks or Sheets along some stretches. Sources said the road ministry, headed by Nitin Gadkari, held a meeting with consultancy firms and asked them to submit a cost analysis on the use of geofoam against conventional filler material such as soil. Several road infrastructure experts from the US had attended the meeting. Thermocol is about a hundred times lighter than soil, which means it is easier to install. Another advantage is that it does not expand or contract with changing temperatures in extremes of summer or winter. "Unlike soil, Thermocol doesn't get washed away during floods or landslides," Chhibber said. "It will also help us avoid the use of healthy soil as a filler for roads." Industry experts have given a thumbs-up to the Thermocol plan, saying new and innovative ideas to build and repair roads were overdue. "The new material (being proposed) is more durable, easy to transport and requires less manpower for construction as sheets just have to be lifted and placed," said Vishwas Udgirkar, a senior infrastructure consultant with Deloitte in India. India has about 1 lakh kilometres of national highways that make up barely two per cent of the country's 48-lakh-kilometre road network, but account for 40 per cent of the nation's traffic. A plan to promote the use of alternative materials and design in highway construction has been a priority for the government. Earlier this year, the road transport ministry had constituted an expert committee to recommend new construction materials and strategies. "We are consulting a cross-section of agencies and experts to adopt material suitable to local needs," the official in the highway division said. The ministry has also issued an order that project reports on every future plan should consider all possible alternative design combinations but they should be apt for Indian conditions and economical.

How a House Developer Built a House Using Reinforced Thermocol Blocks

The 'thermocol houses' have braved three monsoons and stand unaffected even today. "In 2002, we were inundated with a pile of Styrofoam (thermocol) blocks from some sewing machines that we had bought. We decided to experiment with them," says Manubhai, one of the three developers of the thermocol house.

The idea was to make a prototype, says Anand Sarabhai of the Sarabhai Foundation in Ahmedabad under whom the three set to work. "The idea was to experiment with the thermocol blocks and look for people who could take the idea further and replicate it in newer locales," says Sarabhai. What came into being was a 12 foot and 6 inches long; 9 foot and 9 inches wide; and 10 foot and 9 inches high room, he adds.

"We didn't even know what would come about," say Mansukhbhai and Ramdas, the other partners. "We placed thermocol blocks randomly in the form of a rectangle and started stacking one on to the other. There was a hole in all the thermocole blocks at the same place. We put iron rods through them and reinforced with cement," they say. A thin layer of plaster completed the walls though a triangular cut-out has been deliberately left to show that it is made up of waste packing material and not bricks or stone.

The completed room stands out as a unit that has two doors and two windows, with two chunks of jaisalmer stone as the floor. The ceiling is made of wooden logs that have been used as rafters and beams to give it both strength and beauty. Sarabhai feels one of the major advantages of this kind of unit would be in earthquake prone areas because even if houses break there will be very less damage to people and property. The other major advantage, he says, is since it is extremely light it can be used to construct second-floor structures. Sarabhai now is talking to architects and designers to explore further possibilities of using piles of waste to produce economically viable and cheaper housing systems.
