Ground,
made light.
Styrofill EPS geofoam blocks replace heavy soil fill under highways, bridge approaches, railways and buildings. Up to 100 times lighter than soil, cut to size in Bhiwandi and installed anywhere in India.
Same height. A fraction of the weight.
Move the slider to see what a fill of that height puts on the ground below. Soft soil settles under soil fill. It barely notices geofoam.
Assumes compacted soil at 18 kN/m³ and geofoam at its ASTM D6817 minimum density. Pavement and slab not included. For early comparison only; your engineer designs the section.
Wherever the ground can't take the weight.
Geofoam solves settlement, slope and load problems that soil fill makes worse. These are the jobs our blocks do most.
Highway embankments
Raise roads over soft soil and widen existing highways without long surcharge periods.
Bridge approaches
Stop the bump at the end of the bridge by cutting the load next to the abutment.
Railway formations
Lightweight track beds and approach fills that keep long term settlement in check.
Podiums and roof gardens
Shape landscape mounds and planters on slabs without overloading the structure.
Retaining walls and slopes
Reduce lateral pressure on walls and stabilise slopes with a lighter backfill.
Void fill and utilities
Fill under slabs and over buried pipes and cables, light enough to protect them.
Pick the grade by the load, not the guess.
Every Styrofill block is moulded to an ASTM D6817 grade. Heavier grades go near the surface where loads are highest. Lighter grades go deeper and save cost.
| Grade | Min. density kg/m³ | Compressive resistance at 1% strain, kPa | Relative strength | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS12 | 11.2 | 15 | Void fill, landscaping, non structural | |
| EPS15 | 14.4 | 25 | Lower lifts of embankments, podium fill | |
| EPS19 | 18.4 | 40 | Embankments, retaining wall backfill | |
| EPS22 Most used | 21.6 | 50 | Upper lifts under road and rail pavements | |
| EPS29 | 28.8 | 75 | Heavy traffic, bridge approaches, high loads |
Values are ASTM D6817 minimums. Styrofill test certificates per batch are shared with every order. Blocks are made in standard sizes such as 1000 × 1000 mm in thicknesses from 100 mm to 1000 mm, and cut to any size you draw.
From drawing to installed in one team.
Send the section
Share your drawing or soil report. We suggest grades and lift layout for your engineer to approve.
Made to grade
Blocks are moulded and tested in Bhiwandi, then cut to the exact sizes on your drawings.
Delivered to site
Numbered loads that match your lift plan, so blocks reach the right place first time.
Laid and handed over
Our crew lays, staggers and connects the blocks, or supervises yours.
Work in the ground.
Case studies with the problem, the section we used and the numbers. Each one gets its own page so engineers searching for the same problem find it.
Answers engineers search for.
Guides written for site engineers, consultants and procurement teams. Each one answers a real question in the first paragraph, so Google and AI assistants can quote it.
