Why Elevation® Geofoam?

EPS technology is widely accepted and has been used in Europe and the United States for decades.

• Approximately 100 times lighter than soil• No degradation in physical strength or dimensional

stability from freeze thaw cycles • Available in blocks, sheets, tapers and custom CNC

sizes, or can be easily cut to size in the field • Standard Size: up to 40” thick x 48” wide x 96” long

• EPA-approved termiticide available, meets the strictest certifications in the market

• All blocks are trimmed to allow for tight tolerance stacking of multiple layers and clearly labeled to indicate block location and density for efficient installation

• No post installation maintenance required

TransportationSoil Replacement

Elevation Geofoam is the ideal structural fill for road and bridge projects requiring a lightweight fill. When a project includes poor soil conditions, utilities being placed under roads, minimizing lane closures, or requires accelerated construction schedules, Elevation Geofoam provides a lightweight solution with fast installation. Once in place, no ongoing maintenance is required, making it an excellent choice for urban environments and high traffic areas allowing contractors to get in, get out and stay out.

• Bridge abutments• Retaining structures• Road widening• Utility protection• Hillside stabilization• Berms and land forming• Roadway sound barriers• Embankments

APPLICATIONS

Highway Off Ramp- Santa Barbara, CA

Elevation Geofoam by Atlas EPS is engineered to deliver the highest level of stability for transportation or structural projects. Various in-house services are available making Elevation Geofoam an easy choice: volume

estimates, value engineering, shop drawings, lab certification testing, and 3rd party validation of physical properties and certification.

LandscapeSoil Replacement

Non-TransportationSoil Replacement

Elevation Geofoam is ideal for landscaping applications, especially on projects with weight restrictions, such as indoor planters and plaza decks. Utilizing an interlocking stack of geofoam blocks, large areas can be filled quickly without requiring compaction. Placing geofoam blocks directly behind retaining walls results in a considerable reduction of lateral stresses on the wall. This will reduce the strength requirements and therefore the amount of material used to construct the wall itself.

Elevation Geofoam is ideal for multiple commercial construction applications. When a project requires a large infill of soils, accelerated construction schedules or ease installation, Elevation Geofoam is the perfect solution. Due to the fact that it is weather resistant and lightweight, it can be installed without heavy equipment.
