[Super Soil Construction Case Study] A1 Case of Embankment Lightweighting through Weak Ground Measures

This is an example of the improvement work for the Iwami IC No. 2 on the Route 9 Saji Mountain Bypass in Iwami District, Tottori Prefecture.

We would like to introduce a case study of the construction of the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," made from crushed and sintered waste glass, in the context of "lightweight embankment measures for soft ground countermeasures." This project involved embankment work associated with the construction of a new road. As a countermeasure for soft ground, it was necessary to lighten the embankment for the protection of box culverts and to address differential settlement, leading to the use of the environmentally friendly material Super Sol. Width: Approximately 15-27m, Length: Approximately 47m, Embankment height: Approximately 6m, including behind the bridge abutment. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: National Route 9, Shichiyama Bypass Iwami IC Second Improvement Work - Usage Category: Civil Engineering / Behind Bridge Abutment / Roadbed - Client: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Chugoku Regional Development Bureau - Construction Location: Iwami County, Tottori Prefecture - Required Performance: Lightweight, Strength, Soil Pressure Reduction For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

[Super Sol Construction Case] A2 U-shaped retaining wall infill material case

This is a case study of the improvement work in the Monzen area of National Route 2 in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture.

We will introduce a construction case study of the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," made from crushed and sintered waste glass. Improvement work on National Route 2. Super Sol, which can reduce weight, was used as the infill material for the U-shaped retaining wall. Lightweight materials were considered to reduce the load on the underground passage and waterway crossing under the national road. Initially, another material was planned for use, but due to concerns about dissolution from leaks of gasoline and other substances, Super Sol, which is inorganic and less susceptible to degradation from heat and oil, was adopted. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: Improvement work in the Monzen area of National Route 2 - Application Category: Civil Engineering / Structural Backfill / Retaining Wall / Roadbed - Client: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Kinki Regional Development Bureau - Construction Location: Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture - Required Performance: Lightweight, load reduction, heat and oil resistance For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

[Super Sol Construction Case] A1 Case of Subgrade Replacement Work for Roads with Poor Drainage

This is a case of improvement paving work at the national supplementary road intersection in Ryugasaki City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

We would like to introduce a case study of the construction using the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," which is made from crushed and sintered waste glass. The site had poor drainage, and even after paving, water would seep up, causing repeated subsidence. In the construction of a new road, Super Sol, which is lightweight and has good drainage properties, was chosen for the subgrade replacement work. The thickness of the Super Sol installation is approximately 1.7 meters. After the installation, no subsidence like before has been observed, and it is now being used as a comfortable road. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: National Subsidy Road Intersection Improvement Paving Work - Usage Category: Civil Engineering / Lightweight Fill / Subgrade Replacement - Client: Ibaraki Prefecture - Construction Location: Ryugasaki City, Ibaraki Prefecture - Required Performance: Lightweight, Soil Pressure Reduction, Drainage For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Exhibition of examples of glass foam lightweight materials! Announcement of technical training sessions/events.

【Exhibiting at the 2024 NEW Environment Exhibition/EE Tohoku '24】 Usable for various purposes such as civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation, tailored to specific objectives.

"Super Sol" is a lightweight material recycled from glass bottles and other sources. It is an artificial pumice made by crushing and sintering waste glass into irregular granules with a particle size of 2 to 75 mm. Utilizing its characteristics such as lightweight, permeability, water retention, non-combustibility, and thermal insulation, it is used in a wide range of applications including civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation. In particular, the "Glass Foam Recycled Material - Super Sol" as a civil engineering material has a unit weight of about 4 kN/m3, which is approximately one-fifth that of conventional fill materials, making it very lightweight. When this lightweight fill material is used on soft ground, it allows for the construction of embankments without the need for foundation improvement, which can be economically advantageous. [We are currently offering a catalog of products by application as a gift!] - Lightweight fill material "Super Sol L2" - Greening material "Super Sol L1" - Agricultural material "Super Sol L1" - Purification material "Super Sol L2・L4" ★ Eco Mark certified, with registration records in NETIS! NETIS: QS-980235 (old registration) Eco Mark certification number: 08131005 *For more details, please download the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
