Foamit Group, comprising Hasopor (SE), Glasopor (NO), and Foamit (FI), is the leading Nordic supplier of circular and eco-friendly Foam Glass Gravel. With local production in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, we deliver sustainable solutions that are transforming the Nordic construction and infrastructure industries towards a circular economy.

By prioritizing circular economy principles and avoiding virgin materials, we give new life to recycled glass. Foam Glass Gravel is made of 20% glass and 80% air and is primarily used for its high load bearing capacity in combination with insulation, frost protection and drainage capabilities. Because the material is so stable and lightweight as well as easy to handle, it is perfect for sites with geotechnical challenges. Foam Glass Gravel allows less digging to achieve the benefits of compensated foundation, meaning savings on construction time, transport and the environment.

As a unified group, we collaborate with you to develop innovative and sustainable solutions that address the challenges of today and tomorrow. Together, we build a stronger, more environmentally conscious Nordic future.

REVOLUTIONIZING THE FOUNDATION OF LIGHTWEIGHT FILLING AND INSULATION

The product Isobetong® is currently being used in many new areas around Sweden.

In the spring of 2016, the family-owned company Antopus Concrete Solutions AB signs an agreement with its German supplier, which has the market's greenest building product, that enables optimal use of raw materials, in this case the world's oldest building material – cement.

Isobetong® delivers the market's most climate-smart lightweight filling. The area of application ranges from road substructures to simple culvert fillings.

Isobetong® changes the rules of the game and creates conditions where it was previously not possible to reach. Isobetong® is based on additives from the award-winning German company USLPore Europe GmbH.

The biotechnologically produced lightweight filling/insulation is manufactured in mobile factories by adding cement, air and water. The increasing efficiency and environmental savings are revolutionary and a must for our future generations.

By using Isobetong®, an active choice is made in not burying any more plastic in the ground.

The low weight means less excavated material and reduced transport. No storage spaces are required to store any material.

One call, one delivery, one guaranteed result. Isobetong® is synonymous with a sustainable revolution.

With Isobetong®, opportunities open for streamlining and optimizing your project without compromising on quality, economy or the environment.

We can offer project-specific solutions anywhere in a construction project. The key is future oriented- clients, process control and a solution-oriented organization.

Geokalkyl is a GIS-based tool that calculates and visualizes costs as well as climate impact for groundworks, road and railway infrastructures in early stages of planning. The tool takes into account the geotechnical conditions of the site and provides an overview of costs for excavation and filling work, any necessary reinforcement measures and other groundworks.

The tool is available in two versions for different applications: Geokalkyl for ground construction work, developed by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute, helps municipalities compare costs for various development options, climate adaptation, and remediation of contaminated areas. Geokalkyl for infrastructure projects, developed by the Swedish Transport Administration, is tailored to compare costs and climate impact for different routes and the construction of the infrastructure. Also expansion of existing roads and railways is included.

Welcome to join us and participate in the demonstrations of Geokalkyl at NGM2024.
