Quantity of Koolfoam lightweight fill used 2,500m3
Methodology
To build a traditional retaining wall using traditional fill would cost a great deal more.
By using Koolfoam lightweight fill the builder was able to reduce the weight on to the retaining wall and therefore was able to scale down the retaining wall structure itself. This led to substantial cost savings for the project.
Once the retaining wall was back-filled with Koolfoam light weight polystyrene fill the access road for the retirement village was built on top.
