Project Overview
When designing the large Megaplex theater, Geofoam was selected as a lightweight void fill for the stadium seating. The entire theater features a total of 5,594 seats, with the largest auditorium seating 590 people.
340,00 cubic feet of EPS15 Geofoam was installed as a void fill for the stadium seating. The Geofoam blocks were precut and easy to install. Three inches of concrete covered both the front and top of the Geofoam blocks. The blocks were labeled and layout drawings were included to make installation easy. As a result, very few modifications were needed on the jobsite and that resulted savings in both time and labor.
