Multiple apartments building
EPS can also be used to fill holes in order to save on concrete.
- Objective: Level out the sheet pile walls in the foundation to spare concrete and standardize the layers.
- Challenges:
- Optimize the use of sheet pile forms by levelling out the thickness of concrete
- Produce at low cost cut-out pieces of EPS that will perfectly match shapes of the sheet piles
- Design a solution with as little models of pieces as possible
- Facilitate handling
- Insure the quick installation
- Provide suitable mechanical resistance
- Solutions:
- Dimensions that are optimized to meet construction site’s restrictions
- CNC-cut EPS profile that is perfectly adapted to that of the sheet piles
- Optimal density that includes the integration of recycled material to save money
- Result: Less concrete required, translating into a 20 % decrease in costs, without having to modify the quote.
