Expanded Polystyrene Blocks for Large Scale Development Projects

Expanded Polystyrene Block Foundation

Expanded polystyrene blocks are known for their fire retardant and insulating capacity, durability, and long-lasting application. These are the main features why expanded polystyrene blocks are ideal to use as a lightweight filler for building, road and geotechnical constructions.

As one of Australia's largest polystyrene innovators and manufacturers, Foamex developed M-grade expanded polystyrene blocks and sheets that comply with the Australian Building Standards. Foamex products are eco-efficient and have no trace of toxic substances like CFCs and HCFCs.

Foamex expanded polystyrene blocks were recently chosen for the Port of Melbourne Webb Dock Redevelopment. A project set for the port's return to its original role as an international container handling facility.

Port of Melbourne Webb Dock Redevelopment Project
The Port of Melbourne is considered to be the largest container and general cargo port in Australia. It is of great importance to the national and Victorian economy and trade industry. Economic forecasts indicated that the demand for container and general cargo throughput would substantially grow in the coming years. To accommodate the future needs, the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) has taken necessary measures to provide the additional capacity.

The $1.6 billion redevelopment project includes re-engineering of existing wharves at Webb Dock East, the new wharf at Webb Dock West, new road construction to Webb Dock Drive and Kooringa Way situated below the West Gate Bridge. With this project, the newly reconfigured port will be equipped with a state of the art automotive facility that is expected to handle 600, 000 vehicles and 1 million containers per annum.
