Geofoam
Hawaii Construction Foam Geofoam is engineered to give you the greatest possible control for your project application: from design and timelines, to materials and costs, and —ultimately—control over your results. The advantages to using Hawaii Construction Foam Geofoam include:
- Predictable material behavior
- Manufactured to meet ASTM D6817
- Variety of Types to meet specific project requirements
- Super lightweight compared to other fills
- Inert in long-term burial conditions, no leachates
Hawaii Construction Foam Geofoam means control, not compromise.
Traditional earth materials are heavy and can cause settlement, instability or lateral pressures. Other fill materials such as foamed concrete, waste tires, soil, woodchips, wood fiber, etc., have higher densities, are variable in their makeup and are not engineered, due to field execution variables. They also have limitations in handling and can be weather sensitive, thus requiring staged construction and/or preloading, surcharging and draining, etc. Hawaii Construction Foam Geofoam maximizes onsite installation efficiency. Material can arrive at the job site prefabricated and ready to place. It is easily inventoried and handled. Installation is not delayed by weather.
