engineered & geotechnical products

ACH Foam Technologies has been supplying Engineered and Geotechnical Products for transportation, stadium seating, green roofs, sight and sound barriers, lightweight void fill and marine applications for more than 30 years.

ACH’s lightweight EPS combines high compressive strengths and thermal performance make it the perfect solution for engineering and geotechnical challenges. Other materials such as foamed concrete, waste tires, soil, woodchips and wood fiber have higher densities but cannot be engineered for specific applications. They also have limitations in their handling and can be weather sensitive. This results in these products requiring staged construction, preloading, surcharging and draining.

Geofoam is 100 times lighter than soil and 20 to 30 times lighter than other lightweight fill alternatives. Lightweight engineered EPS reduces labor and project costs. EPS can arrive at the job site prefabricated and ready to place. Installation is not delayed by weather.

Additional engineered products such as Structural Insulated Panels – a strong structural system consisting of R-Control® EPS insulation laminated to oriented strand board (OSB) forming a structural panel – are engineered to fit the structural and insulative needs of commercial and residential buildings.

Engineers, contractors and designers have found utilizing EPS for construction and geotechnical challenges has opened doors to new engineering and design opportunities.
