A Brief History of EPS Geofoam
Excessive rainfall led to the embankment of Highway 260 near Durango to collapse. Additionally, in general, the winding roadways through mountain passes are fraught with freeze-thaw cycles, eventually leading to road and supporting embankment failure. The above picture is a snippet from a video explaining a Colorado project.
In our next article, we’ll introduce you to the largest project using EPS Geofoam was in Salt Lake City, Utah on Highway 15. The 17 miles of government mandated road project is to date still the largest Geofoam project in the USA. The reason the government mandated the work was in preparation for the 2002 Olympics held there. Having the ability to manage a massive influx of visitors proved to be crucial to the success of the Winter Olympics of that year. Within the 2015 article, there is a link to a fascinating video of the project.
