SHIELDFOAM

ShieldFoam is our industry approved structural foundation foam for poles and posts.

What is ShieldFoam PLF?

ShieldFoam PLF (Pole Lock Foundation) is an industry tested and approved structural foundation foam for use with poles and posts. It is a closed-cell polyurethane foam that provides an effective and stress-free replacement for the use of concrete as a backfill. With fast setting properties (<15 minutes to set before conductor stringing or fence tensioning), minimal time, transport, and manual labour is required when compared to concrete or other backfill types. 

Our foundation foam provides exceptional performance over both short and long-term projects. Based on testing in Australia, ShieldFoam gives exceptional short-term capacity, even when filling half the hole depth (recommended for long-term pole durability). In fact, it delivers better results than 3 months of consolidated tamped backfill. 

ShieldFoam has been designed to not hold moisture around the pole or post at the critical groundline regions, while allowing for regular inspections techniques to be performed at ease.  

ShieldFoam eliminates issues with concrete compaction, soil tamping, cracks and cold joints causing hidden corrosion issues, transport times for concrete to remote sites, and reduces manual labour.
