Molygran’s polystyrene sheets offer versatile, high-performance solutions for civil engineering and construction projects. Engineered from expanded polystyrene (EPS), these lightweight yet durable sheets provide exceptional compressive strength, thermal insulation, and ease of installation. From geofoam applications to void forming and foundation support, our polystyrene sheets deliver reliable performance while reducing project costs and construction time.
Significantly lighter than traditional fill materials, polystyrene sheets reduce dead loads on structures and underlying soils, minimising settlement risks and enabling construction on weak or challenging ground conditions.
Our sheets come in a wide range of densities, all of which maintain excellent load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for demanding civil engineering applications including road embankments, bridge abutments, and foundation systems.
Exceptional insulation properties help regulate temperature, reduce energy consumption, and prevent frost heave in cold climates, protecting infrastructure integrity all year-round.
Lightweight sheets are simple to handle, cut, and position on site, reducing labour requirements and accelerating project timelines without the need for heavy machinery.
Lower material and transportation costs, combined with reduced foundation requirements and faster installation, deliver significant project savings compared to conventional materials.
EPS can be 100% recycled material which can then also be fully recycled. Manufactured with minimal environmental impact, polystyrene sheets support sustainable construction practices while maintaining long-term durability.
Polystyrene Sheet Applications
- Road Construction & Embankments – Used as lightweight fill material to reduce loads on weak soils, minimise settlement, and enable construction over soft ground or existing utilities.
- Bridge Abutments – Reduces lateral earth pressures on bridge structures while providing stable, lightweight support that minimises foundation requirements.
- Slope Stabilisation – Provides lightweight backfill for retaining walls and slope reinforcement, reducing driving forces and improving overall stability.
- Foundation Support – Creates void spaces beneath slabs and foundations, reducing soil pressure and providing thermal insulation for ground-bearing structures.
- Retaining Walls – Lightweight backfill reduces lateral loads on retaining structures, allowing for more economical wall designs and improved long-term performance.
- Utility Protection – Forms protective zones around buried pipes and cables, distributing loads and preventing damage from surface traffic or settlement.
