Railway Platforms

Sundolitt expanded polystyrene provides an ideal and cost-effective basis for the construction of railway platforms

Sundolitt EPS blocks are robust, lightweight and easy-to-handle on site, reducing platform construction times and minimising disruption to train services and passengers. Despite their light weight, they have exceptional strength and load-bearing capacity.
 
They impose much less load pressure on the subsoil and any underlying services, than conventional platform construction methods, representing around 1% of the weight of traditional fill materials

  • Economical & practical alternative to piled construction
  • Established long-term strength and performance
  • High load-bearing capacity
  • EPS blocks do not require to be compacted and do not lose any volume to compaction (as some other lightweight fill materials do)
  • Easy-to-cut on site, no special equipment required
  • No protective clothing or masks required
  • Rot-proof and extremely durable in wet conditions
  • Do not absorb or retain water
