JEOFOAM Helps Chefs Stand Taller

When one of the Singapore’s world-class integrated resorts called to raise their kitchen floor another 430mm, Jebsen & Jessen Packaging offered the simplest, fastest and most cost-effective solution with its EPS JEOFOAM to fill the space.

A total of 300 cubic metres of JEOFOAM blocks, produced using fire retardant EPS, were laid on top of the existing floor and a new concrete slab was cast over it. The light-weight foam does not cause any problem to the existing structure and its highly compressive strength can easily handle the load and traffic above it.

The successful project was completed and commissioned within four months and Jebsen & Jessen Packaging’s team acted as the project coordinator, supplier and site supervisor.

JEOFOAM is the ideal solution as it can be delivered to site in pre-profiled cuts and the blocks can be put in place between the existing and new slab quickly and accurately, eliminating the need for tamping with concrete or other, heavier materials.

Jebsen & Jessen Packaging’s JEOFOAM can be manufactured to precisely meet design requirements and accelerate construction schedules. It can be used for foundations and side hill fills to reduce lateral pressure and axial loads on structures because of its light weight and predictable physical properties.
