A number of tests have been carried out on different parameters to certify the numerous qualities of our Concrewall technology and EPS panels.
Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) is a bi-product of oil & gas. It is a synthetic polymer from monomers of the aromatic hydrocarbon styrene. Commonly used in packaging material for electronics, soundproofing and other general other purpose uses. In the construction industry, EPS was first used in Rome, Italy and the 1st patents were issued then for general construction use across the globe. In Uganda, EPS use in the construction industry has been standardized with our lobbying and collaboration efforts with UNBS among others. Currently, EPS for construction is classified under standards: US 2224:2020, US 2225:2020 US EAS 412:2019 KEBS 16065(In Kenya)
Misile Tests
Strength & Compaction
A Single Panel 400 cm x 400 cm was progressively loaded towards the breaking point which corresponds to a uniformly distributed nominal load well over 2000 kg/m2. The test was done by slowly flling a water tank measuring. 300 cm x 300 cm and 200 cm high.
