I came across these great photos of geofoam use on the WSDOT SR 519 project which has been in service over a year now. They needed geofoam fill on the east and west bridge approaches because of high water table, poor soils and the need to reduce loading on existing buried utilities…all classic reasons for this type of geotechnical engineering solution.

A stretch of tunnel on Eastbound I-70 in scenic Glenwood Canyon Colorado was closed last March because of a 70-foot long crack in the ceiling. Since then the two-lane westbound bore has been handling both eastbound and westbound traffic while repairs to the damaged segment were undertaken. This project has a little of everything: heavy excavation, rockfall, slab reinforcing, geofoam, and even geogrid! Read on for more details, a map and photos. (Photo by Concrete Works Of Colorado)
