Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. This section describes some of the more unique applications of EPS geofoam in construction activities in North America. Some of these special applications include noise or visual barriers, expansive soils, earthquake mitigation, permafrost and rockfall protection. Noise and Vibration Damping. EPS geofoam embankments are stable during earthquakes based on post-earthquake performance observations from Japanese...

Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. A description of a typical road construction, from bottom to top, is as follows: compact a layer of sand at the base of the roadway excavation to provide a level and free draining construction surface. Place the EPS geofoam to the desired height, staggering the vertical joints in each course so as not to create continuous vertical seams.

Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. EPS geofoam is available in a range of compressive resistances. A project designer can choose the specific type of EPS required to support the design loading while minimizing cost. Several different types of EPS geofoam can be specified on a single project to maximize savings. For example, higher strength EPS geofoam can be used in high applied stress areas while lower strength blocks are used in areas where the applied stresses are lower.

Construction Time - Geofoam.org Geofoam.org
http://www.geofoam.org/considerations/construction-time
Culverts & Pipelines. Stadium & Theater Seating. EPS geofoam helps projects maintain extremely tight construction schedules. The ease and speed with which EPS geofoam can be constructed results in shorter construction time because of faster placement rates, reduced utility relocation and less disruption of traffic in urban areas. Additionally, adverse weather conditions typically do not affect placement rates of EPS geofoam. AFM is a registered trademark of AFM Corporation, Lakeville, MN.
