GEOFOAM APPLICATIONS
Retaining Walls
Reducing lateral loads on retaining walls, reduces costs of construction, as well as insuring long term performance. Using ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam provides the most reliably engineered, fast construction method to build high performance retaining walls.
Lightweight Roads
Transportation roadways often need to be built over unstable soils. The use of structural, light weight ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam reduces construction time and the costly steps of surcharging, de-wicking and driving piles. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam delivers fast, stable and built within-budget road building.
Bridge Abutments
ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam used in the approach fill sections of bridge construction, reduces lateral loads on the bridge deck support system, which reduces cost. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam also prevents the potential deferential settlement of the finished roadway and the bridge deck elevation.
Plaza Decks
Reducing over bearing loads on plaza decks increases deck spanning distances at lower cost. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam allows for cost effective long span designs. And, ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam’s insulation power allows for conditioned habitable space under the plaza deck.

Foundation Fill
Foundations over unstable or expansive soils is a challenge. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam allows for soil removal and replacement, with light weight ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam structural fill. This provides for a net zero weight gain for the structure, on the building foot print.
Utility Protection
Overbearing fill and roadways, reoccurring live loads and consolidating soils can cause damage to underground utility service runs. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam relieves these stresses and protects critical utility runs for years to come.
Slope Stabilization
Mobile soils, cyclical surface and sub-surface water events can effect the stability of roads and structures, built on natural slopes. Designs using ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam can provide an engineered solution that eliminate slope erosion, and stabilize the native conditions.
Building Fill
Urban redevelopment and reclamation of historical buildings, requires adjustments to floor and stair elevations to meet code egress, HVAC, and electrical standards. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam elegantly and cost effectively provides the solution for urban building retrofit.

Stadium Seating
The theater viewing experience enhances every great performance. ThermaFoam R-Control Geofoam has been used to cost effectively transform movie theaters, public outdoor venues, school auditoriums and private viewing rooms into environments where people become immersed in the performance.
