STYRO EPS Landscaping – lightweight fill application

  • Landscaping shapes can be done by using conventional soil or light weight screed / concrete, however Engineers, Architects facing few challenges while they choose conventional material for light weight filling.
  • First and foremost challenges is weight constraint; Light weight fill should be very light in weight, it should not influence any stress or strain on the structure of the building. Load bearing constraint: light weight material should meet load specs. of consultant and contractor.
  • Cost constraint: material must be cost effective in relation with conventional filling material available in the market
  • Time Constraint; Work should be completed on fast track Re-design flexibility & Workability: Filling material should be easy enough to remove in case if any re-design comes in mind an over a period of usage.
  • It should be good insulation, resilient, having good acoustic properties
  • To comply all Environment issues such as Recycling or Re-usage & Sustainability

Which material meets all the above challenges? All civil Engineers, Architects , Contractor and Consultant unilaterally agreed without any second opinion that STYRO expanded polystyrene EPS is one of the right choice to use in all Landscaping and lightweight fill applications
