GREEN BUILDING!
Building with ICF blocks is the right decision from the start.
Reduced construction time, cost savings, environmental protection
and living comfort with insulation against heat and cold are
argument enough. Here each small part fits together to form a
perfect system.
The building system of the future.
One example of the successful use of expandable polystyrene is
in INSULAT-ING CONCRETE FORMS (ICFs). They are special forms for
interior and ex-terior walls that are assembled on the building
site by locking them together and, after inserting reinforcing
steel, filled with concrete.
Very high thermal and sound insula-tion values, up to 75% lower
energy requirements and high costs savings are just some of the
benefits gained by using EPS forms. Mobile manu-facturing plants
set up on site enable large-scale projects to be completed
material is heated with steam in a pre-expander until the beads
reach the desired density, then the beads are suctioned into the
aluminium molds, expanded with steam for a second time, fused into
their final form and then cooled. The finished EPS compo-nents are
comprised of up to 98% air and are therefore very light.
EPS (expandable polystyrene) is a plastic product that results
from the processing of crude oil. It consists of ap-prox. 94%
carbon and water plus 4 to 6% pentane. EPS is chemically neutral,
free of harmful chlorofluorocarbons and plasticizers and does not
give off any water-soluble materials that could lead to
environmental pollution. The EPS raw

Global Green Built fits all the parts to-gether to create a

from the mobile manufacturing plants and training for the

with the benefit of keeping transport costs down low and
reducing logistics operations.
Building on site.
Such mobile manufacturing facili-ties for producing ICFs are
known as HIRSCH Satellite Plants. Each mobile plant is designed to
be operated in up to three shifts for an annual produc-tion
capacity of some two million ICFs, which can be used to build up to
2,000 family homes.
The advantages of this innovative build-ing system lie in its
low energy require-ments due to the integrated insulation (EPS),
