EPS void former construction
EPS void formers for efficient bridge deck construction
Lightweight EPS profiles help reduce concrete volume, structural load and handling time in bridge deck construction.
Foam Technologies supplies custom Iso-Lite foam profiles that can be cast in-situ, helping engineers optimise concrete bridge structures without making site installation harder.
Expanded polystyrene void formers are used to reduce unnecessary concrete mass while preserving the design geometry of the bridge deck.
- EPS void formers reduce the overall weight of the concrete structure, lowering demand on support beams and foundations.
- Reducing the volume of concrete required can lower material use, labour time and installation complexity.
- The lightweight foam profiles are simple to move, cut and place on site, helping contractors keep the program moving.
- Using less concrete can reduce the embodied carbon associated with cement-intensive construction works.
