Protecting EPS geofoam block with EIA geomembranes
Benefits of using reinforced
EIA geomembranes
Using reinforced EIA geomembranes to
protect EPS geofoam offers several benefits,
including:
* Chemical resistance: EIA geomembranes
are highly resistant to hydrocarbons
and other chemical substances,
ensuring long-term protection
for the underlying EPS geofoam.
* Durability: The robust construction
of EIA geomembranes enhances the
durability and lifespan of the protective
barriers, even in harsh environmental
conditions.
FIGURE 5 Embankment build-up utilizing EPS geofoam and protected with Xtrm Ply EPS Wrap
* Enhanced performance: By safeguarding
EPS geofoam from hydrocarbon
exposure, reinforced EIA geomembranes
help maintain the structural
integrity and performance of the construction
project over time.
Recent application: Jefferson
County SR 119 (559) in
Punxsutawney, Pa.
During May and June 2019, Frank
Roberts and Sons Inc., a geomembrane
fabricator and installer located
in Punxsutawney, Pa., fabricated and
installed the geofoam-wrap geomembrane
used in the Jefferson County SR
199 (559) PADOT project.
The geomembrane used to meet the
FIGURE 6 Final stages of roadway utilizing EPS geofoam
PADOT specification for " Hydrocarbon-Resistant
Geomembrane " was E
Squared XTRM Ply® HPLX geomembrane
product number 7087-38120-589,
which is a 38-ounce, 45-mil hydrocarbon-resistant
EIA/KEE geomembrane.
EIA/KEE containing Dow Elvaloy
geomembrane is certified to meet the
requirements of the Build America, Buy
America Act (BABAA).
The geofoam used on this highway
project was stacked approximately 13
layers, 30 feet (9.1 m) deep along the
2:1 sloped embankment and under the
