In the world of geotechnical engineering, every project presents unique challenges, from unstable soils to complex void-filling requirements. These challenges demand innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions. Enter FILLFOAM™, the cutting-edge resin-blown foam that’s transforming how engineers approach void filling and soil stabilization.
What is FILLFOAM™?
FILLFOAM™ is a pre-expanded, nitrogen-rich foam developed from air, resin, and a hardener. This eco-friendly material is lightweight, durable, and hydro-insensitive, making it an ideal choice for various geotechnical applications. Unlike traditional methods, FILLFOAM™ delivers superior performance while being harmless to the environment.
Key Benefits of FILLFOAM™
Volume Stability
FILLFOAM™ maintains its volume even in confined spaces, ensuring reliable and consistent performance across all applications.
Eco-Friendly and Safe
Nitrogen-rich and solvent-free, FILLFOAM™ is non-toxic, non-flammable, and inert, making it safe for both installers and the environment.
Customizable Densities
The foam’s density can be adjusted on-site, ranging from 10 to 50 PSI, allowing engineers to tailor it to specific project requirements.
Water Resistance
FILLFOAM™ is hydro-insensitive, meaning it can be used in wet conditions without compromising performance. It also resists damage from salt and fresh water.
No Heat Generation
The foaming reaction produces no heat, making FILLFOAM™ safe for large-scale installations in sensitive environments.
Lightweight and Strong
Despite its lightweight composition, FILLFOAM™ delivers exceptional strength and elasticity, enabling it to absorb shock and movement—ideal for seismic zones.
High Flow Rate
FILLFOAM™ can be injected over 500 feet from a single point, offering unmatched efficiency for large-scale projects.
Recyclable and Reusable
FILLFOAM™ can be excavated and reused, aligning with sustainable engineering practices.
Applications of FILLFOAM™
FILLFOAM™’s versatility makes it a game-changer in numerous geotechnical scenarios, including:
Mines: Filling voids left by excavation to ensure structural stability.
Tunnels and Culverts: Reinforcing aging structures without excavation.
Pipes and Tanks: Filling abandoned or unused pipes and tanks to prevent collapse.
Sinkholes: Stabilizing sinkholes quickly and efficiently.
Seismic Zones: Absorbing movement and shock to protect infrastructure.
Whether you’re addressing small-scale challenges or tackling massive void-filling projects, FILLFOAM™ rises to the occasion, offering engineers a reliable, innovative, and eco-conscious solution.
Why Engineers Choose FILLFOAM™
Traditional void-filling methods often come with limitations—weight, cost, and environmental impact. FILLFOAM™ eliminates these concerns, offering a superior alternative that prioritizes performance and sustainability.
Its ability to stabilize soils, adapt to diverse conditions, and deliver long-lasting results makes it the go-to choice for engineers seeking innovative solutions.
Conclusion
FILLFOAM™ isn’t just a product; it’s a revolution in geotechnical engineering. From mines to seismic zones, its benefits and applications are redefining industry standards.
