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
