The ASW method is the most suitable technique for constructing and renovating vertical retaining walls in urban areas.
The Safety Wall Method (ASW Method) is a bracket-type or self-supporting vertical retaining wall method that maintains stability through the resistance of piles, columns, retaining walls, bracket plates, weight concrete, and other elements. It does not require a base slab like conventional RC retaining walls such as L-shaped walls, resulting in reduced excavation and backfill cross-sections, which enhances cost-effectiveness and constructability.

basic information
【Features】 ○ Since a base slab is not required, the amount of earthwork such as excavation and backfilling associated with construction is reduced. ○ By using precast concrete panels (factory-produced) for the wall structure, the construction period can be shortened. Additionally, depending on the site conditions, the wall structure can also be constructed using reinforced concrete on-site. ○ It can serve as both a retaining wall and a support for underground construction. ○ The new structural form allows for the construction of vertical retaining walls in narrow sites. ○ Renovation and reinforcement of retaining walls at risk of collapse can be carried out with minimal impact on existing buildings. ○ As an independent retaining wall, it is advantageous for setting the average ground level. ○ In a bracket-type system, the resisting moment from the weight at the end of the bracket balances the overturning moment caused by soil pressure on the retaining wall. ● For more details, please contact us.

Company information
The ASW method is a construction technique that minimizes the impact on buildings during the construction of retaining walls associated with land development, as well as during the renovation and reinforcement of existing hazardous retaining walls. Unlike conventional L-shaped retaining walls, this method can be applied in locations where renovations and repairs are not feasible, and it is anticipated as a renovation and repair method by municipalities where hazardous retaining walls remain unrenovated. To promote the dissemination of this method and improve technology, we have established the Safety Wall Method Research Association and are advancing new technology development.
