The box-type retaining wall, known for its excellent drainage properties, has been adopted! It also significantly contributes to the planning of the restoration work process!
In the year 2000, during the restoration of the castle walls at Fukuchiyama Castle Park in Kyoto Prefecture following a disaster, Tanba stone was used to restore the historically significant temple-style stone walls, aiming for restoration through traditional civil engineering methods known as Anō-zukuri.
A box-type retaining wall was adopted as a combined method that receives earth pressure from the back, excelling in safety, constructability, cost-effectiveness, and drainage.
The box-type retaining wall was constructed by stacking using the small step sections of the box, allowing for sufficient securing of installation locations for Tanba stone and workspaces, which greatly contributed to the planning of a safe and swift restoration construction process.
[Case Overview]
