Fillmaster is the UK’s leading expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight fill material. In the civil engineering and ground engineering markets, Fillmaster has become renowned as a practical and environmental choice for a wide range of applications. From its use in railway embankments to road widening schemes and bridge abutments, the compressive strength and light weight properties of this material make it an invaluable resource for today’s engineers.

 The cellular structure confers a high strength to weight ratio so that Fillmaster can withstand mechanical loads encountered in heavy structures such as road and bridge embankments. Fillmaster can reduce the stress in underlying soils and the probability of excessive settlement. It also inhibits water absorption, eliminating the possibility of leaching that is often associated with traditional fill materials.
The durable nature of the material also makes it immune to insect, bacterial and fungal attack, which increases its longevity and maintains its high performance levels.
Today, people in all walks of life are concerned about the environment, and measures are being taken in all industries to reduce the impact that activities have on our surroundings. Fillmaster EPS can offer substantial environmental advantages and makes a positive contribution at all stages of its life cycle, from manufacture, through to application, to recycling and disposal.
Fillmaster is fully recyclable and the company operates an environmental programme, recycling all in-house manufacturing waste as well as recycling packaging and other waste EPS from external sources.
Fillmaster can reduce project time and costs and considerably reduces or avoids plant time and excavation. It not only reduces the likelihood of further settlement but allows for steeper gradient structures than conventional material will allow.
Fillmaster has a proven track record in the UK providing fill solutions for many different civil engineering applications where traditional fill materials were unable to meet specification requirements.
