EPS Geofoam is made up of 98% air, which makes it considerably lighter than soil. However, unlike soil, it doesn’t frost heave. During
temperature cycling, it undergoes no loss of structural integrity or other physical properties. This characteristic makes it not only safer but cost-effective due to reduced maintenance.
Because of its closed-cell structure, it is also non-hygroscopic. This characteristic
reduces the absorption of moisture and makes it resistant to mold. Airport runway rehabilitation projects aren’t the only construction applications it can be used in, though. EPS Geofoam can be used in new runway and taxiway construction, as well.
