Schiedam, ZH fights soil subsidence by installing foam glass under streets and sewers

Schiedam, ZH Foam Glass Soil Subsidence Streets Sewers

In Progress

Streets and sewers in the Ambachtenbuurt-Noord and Sveadal districts will be restored to previous levels with foam glass. The recycled glass composite replaces soil and polystyrene filler that allowed public assets to sink over time. Foam glass is four times lighter than water and safe for the environment because it is not made with petroleum. Successful mitigation of soil subsidence during the pilot may lead to similar applications across Schiedam.
