Styrobeck Plastics Ltd. manufacture and supply expanded polystyrene as GEOFOAM in 3 grades for the following applications:
- Slope Stabilisation.
- Embankments.
- Retaining Structures.
- Highway Stabilisation.
- Utility Protection.
- Shallow Foundations
- Insulation.
GEOFOAM has been used successfully in different applications worldwide over a period of more than 25 years. Geofoam has very low density, great insulation, low hydraulic conductivity as well as strength and deformation properties that complement soil behaviour.
