Civil Engineering
EPS has been used as a lightweight fill below road construction since the 1970’s to protect against ground compaction and frost attack. With the very first application in our parent company’s home of Norway the applications of EPS in civil engineering have grown and new grades of EPS have been developed to meet the specific needs of new projects.
Grades of Structural Fill EPS have been developed with a compressive strength up to 500 kPa for use below high speed rail and road constructions. Where higher loads are expected we supply our XPS Boards with strengths up to 700kPa as a top layer over Structural Fill EPS Blocks.
Information on the physical properties and application of Structural Fill can be found in the datasheet sheet below. You can also read about the many benefits of specifying and using Structural Fill on our Information Sheet.
We offer CPD’s on the full range of Civil Engineering Applications for EPS, helping you develop your knowledge and skills through practical learning. Simply contact us enquiriesuk@sundolitt.com and one of our experts will be in touch.
