A Modern Solution to an Ancient
Problem.
EZFlow produces prefabricated drainage systems designed
specifically to replace stone aggregate systems in a variety of
applications.
The aggregate used in EZflow drains is recycled expanded
polystyrene (EPS) the same material commonly used in products such
as hot drink cups and protective packaging. Non-degradable EPS is
an attractive alternative to stone for several reasons:

|
|
|
-
Engineered bead with flow channels for greater holding
capacity;
|
-
And, in this era of growing concern over environmental issues, the
re-use of EPS as an aggregate (as opposed to simply being
discarded) represents a substantial savings in landfill space. In
one year, this can be as much as 150 valuable acres.

Applications
Benefits...
Saves Time & Money
Pre-assembled 10-foot lengths of EPS aggregate and pipe
eliminate the need for special arrangements such as dump trucks to
haul stone and the separate handling of stone and pipe.
Built to Perform
The combination of plastic pipe and EPS results in
lightness and flexibility which is advantageous in several ways.
During installation, soils with clay cannot be tightly compacted at
the soil/aggregate interface, thus the likelihood of failure due to
low permeability is minimized.
Indestructible
EZflow drains are virtually indestructible by either live
or dead loading. In very deep trenches or under high fills, the
relative compressibility of the assembly as compared to the
adjacent soil cause nearly all loading to be borne by the soil.
Environmentally Friendly
All materials used in the assembly are inert in the
expected environment. No degradable unit materials possess
comprehensive strength that withstands soil pressure.
Finally, EZflow drains make use of EPS which would otherwise be
waste material, saving valuable landfill space. And, using EPS
conserves another valuable resource - stone. One hundred pounds
of EPS aggregate replace eight tons of gravel!
