roadway. The geofoam design was not uniform. It included many steps and corners that required wrapping with the geomembrane. The main challenge of this installation was that being a relatively new technology, there was minimal precedent to draw from to determine how best to proceed in stacking and wrapping the geofoam blocks. This required very close cooperation between the general contractor and the geomembrane installer. Per the project specifications, the geofoam had to be completely encapsulated/ field seamed. It was determined that the only way to effectively accomplish this was to wrap the geofoam in lifts as directed by the general contractor. This required multiple mobilizations. The large factory-fabricated panels, produced in Frank Roberts and Sons' state-of-the-art fabrication facility, aided the process. These custom geomembrane panels greatly minimized field seaming and installation time during the many mobilizations required to successfully complete this project. Conclusion Examining real-world applications of EPS geofoam and reinforced EIA geomembranes can offer valuable insights into their practical uses and performance. The main challenge of this installation was that being a relatively new technology, there was minimal precedent to draw from to determine how best to proceed in stacking and wrapping the geofoam blocks.
