ESLEN Block

Light-weight filling material

Overview

Easy-to-handle light-weight filling materials with a high degree of deformity and contraction resistance.
*EPS civil engineering using ESLEN Blocks has become increasingly common, bringing a revolutionary change to the world of civil engineering. The technology has been widely used for roads and river embarkments, as well as for reinforcing soft ground.

Features

• Light-weight:
The density as low as 1/100 of that of sand and concrete makes it an ideal ground reinforcing material.
• Deformity resistant:
Designed to form an independent wall when stacked. Its Poisson’s ratio close to 0 makes it an ideal material to build retaining walls, offering adequate resistance against lateral earth pressure.
• Easy to handle:
This light-weight material can be installed manually without heavy construction equipment, resulting in savings in construction time.
• Water resistance:
Unconnected voids are inaccessible for water storage, keeping the material characteristics intact.
• Shock absorbing:
The material has excellent shock absorbing qualities, reducing impact and vibrations.
• Cost and time saving:
Designed to help reduce the maintenance cost, construction time, required site space and earthwork as well as the total construction cost.

Applications

  • ・Embankments on soft ground
  • ・Road widening embankments on steep slopes
  • ・Embankments on artificial ground
  • ・Protection against falling rocks
