Why would you use polystyrene in a car park?.
It's a cheap void filler. Once the concrete has cured it serves no purpose at all except as a nice home for rats

It is the waterboard that will be liable for the damage which is going to be very very expensive...!
not if they are doing work on behalf of the council, all liability will fall at the councils feet.
along with the big puddle

imagine the insurance form "cause of accident, the polystyrene under the tarmac floated on the flood of water and crushed my car into the roof of the multi story car park"
They say truth is often stranger than fiction.
It looks to be holding up the tarmac?

It's underneath this development on the site of the old town hall. http://www.pinnacle-esp.co.uk/crayford-town-hall
It has nice flats indeed. It's one of those places where a percentage of the flats have had to be sold to housing associations, so someone who has payed £250k for a 2 bed flat is living next to someone who has got the same flat for life for £130 a week, usually payed for by housing benefit.
I dont know who pays for the damage.

Whoever hit the main or broke it or didn't install it properly will pay for it through insurance. If it's been sub contracted out once or twice then more than likely the client will pick up the shortfall in insurance. That's why you have to make sure if you sub contract out your sub contractor has the same insurance cover and wording as yours.
The sub contractors for water have to be approved by WRAS which will have minium insurance requirements and potentially bonds that need to be entered into before the work commences.
Basically the insurance industry will pay and then premiums will be adjusted to suit

That polystyrene hasn't swollen. The gaps are still there between the pieces and polystyrene doesn't swell with water.
