Beam
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
A range of EPS cellular void formers used to limit the pressure exerted on in-situ reinforced concrete floors or piled ground beams by the expansion of clay soils, (clay heave), or ground recovery.
The BEWI Ground Heave Protection boards are a cellular-structured void formers cut from expanded polystyrene (EPS). The boards are manufactured in a range of thicknesses to meet the application – Beam, Slab or Insulated Slab - requirement and the soil plasticity and predicted ground movement on the site. All BEWI Ground Heave Protection boards are supplied with a bonded polypropylene top and bottom sheet.
