Dynamic in its ability to be precisely shaped, light-weight enough to be safety suspended above the public, and large enough to accomplish the life-like scale of mega animals cost effectively – sculptor Stephen Kesler’s medium of choice for marine replicas at the Living Planet Acquarium in Draper, Utah is expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, manufactured just a few miles from his studio by ACH Foam Technologies. 

Cost, quality, and long-term performance were key variables of material selection for the Badger State Fruit Processing plant expansion.  Foam-Control PLUS+ architectural EPS insulation provided all three key elements.  Unlike other roof insulations, the R-Value of EPS remains the same over time.  The NRCA recently released an updated recommendation for designers to use R-5 per inch of thickness in all climate conditions for polyiso insulation when evaluating actual in-service R-values.

Generally in the past, the bulk of EPS foam recycling efforts have focused on industrial sectors where distributors and vendors recycle large volumes of material collected from protective packaging from products like refrigerators or TVs. The FRC grants will target entities that manage residential curbside and drop-off recycling programs.

There are many aspects of producing wine that require near-constant attention to achieve the product consistency.  Now, thanks to recent packaging improvements that high-end product consistency is easily extended beyond the vineyard, through the distribution process and right to the retailer or consumer’s front door.

The idea of a gorgeous rooftop tenant recreation and lounge area would appeal to most, however few outside of the design and construction industry appreciate the immense challenge of adding this type of space on top of a 60-year-old roof.  On the Prudential roof deck renovation, two types of Geofoam were used. 

On the construction of the Cheyenne South Valley Connector project, innovation came in the form of an unusual application of ACH Foam Technologies’ Foam-Control EPS Geofoam.  Geofoam was used to create the form work required to shape the bridge’s three concrete piers.
