SUPERIOR FILL CAPABILITIES
Structural Stability Starts With Geofoam
In the construction industry, R-Shield Geofoam is among the most versatile lightweight materials available. Traditional dirt/earth materials are heavy and must also account for settlement, instability, and lateral pressures. Other fill materials such as foamed concrete, waste tires, soil, woodchips, wood fiber, etc., have higher densities and are variable in their makeup. They also have limitations in handling and can be weather sensitive, thus requiring staged construction and/or preloading, surcharging and draining, etc. Ultimately, Geofoam is proven to be most consistent and predictable material when it comes to weight, composition, and performance.
R-Shield Geofoam is produced in block form, installed much faster than dirt, and is easily positioned at the work site. It can be customized in the factory and manufactured to meet the needs strength and size needs of each project.
