TerraFlex™ is unlike any other material available in the world. It was developed specifically to be a synthetic compressible inclusion (SCI) with engineered, well defined properties.

It is significantly softer than the lowest density Geofoam available and it has a much higher elastic strain limit of 10-20%. Additionally, it's long term behavior, under sustained load, reveals it to be significantly more compressible than any other material, including all densities of ordinary EPS geofoam. Refer to the Graphs link above to see the actual test results.

It is made into panels measuring 4' x 4' with thicknesses varying from 2 inches up to 30 inches.

TerraFlex™ is manufactured by GeoTech Licensees using a process patented in 1998.

TerraFlex™ will serve as an elastic, compressible layer between the earth and rigid structures. It has been tested under conditions of rapid cyclic loading as well as long term loading to determine it's behavior in every potential application. It has seen use in the following applications: On building foundations in order to mobilize the soil strength and reduce loads Behind Integral Bridge Abutments to accommodate the seasonal and daily motion caused by temperature cycles Behind outdoor retaining walls in conjunction with a MSE system to reduce wall pressures to near zero.
