EPS Foam Used to Seal a Cylinder for a Concrete Pour

EPS (expanded polystyrene), often referred to as Styrofoam, can be cut into almost any shape and size. For this project in Austin Texas, the contractor had 50 pipes that needed to have the ends protected during installation of concrete. The pipes were cut at a 45 degree angle. The solution was to fill them with cylindrical cut pieces of EPS, also cut at a 45 degree angle on both ends and a little duct tape to hold them in place. Everything worked as planned.


“Universal Foam Products was our Geofoam supplier for a stadium seating project in New Orleans. The material was delivered on time and cut to size. We installed the project in less than 3 hours with a 4 man crew without cutting a single piece of foam. We look forward to doing more projects with your company in the future.”
