[Super Sol Construction Case] Example of Backfill for Retaining Wall - Goro Fureai Bridge Maintenance
This is a case study of the construction of the auxiliary works for the Go-Roku Fureai Bridge.
We would like to introduce a construction example of the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," made from crushed and sintered waste glass. This example pertains to the backfill of a retaining wall. In the auxiliary work for the bridge, Super Sol, which has high permeability, was applied as river embankment material. It was used as backfill material for block masonry, and some areas were constructed with lightweight mixed soil (60% Super Sol and 40% earth). 【Construction Example】 - Project Details: Auxiliary work for the Goro Fureai Bridge - Usage Category: Civil Engineering / Structure Backfill / Retaining Wall - Client: Mizuho City - Construction Location: Mizuho City, Gifu Prefecture - Required Performance: Lightweight and reduced earth pressure For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Company information
"Super Sol," made by crushing and sintering waste glass, is a lightweight material with countless holes, forming a porous structure. It is an artificial lightweight stone with an irregular shape and a particle size of 2 to 75 mm. There are products with varying specific gravities and water absorption rates to suit different applications. Composed of soil components, it is an eco-friendly product with an eco-mark. **Features of Super Sol:** - **Lightweight:** It is 1/6 to 1/5 the weight of soil, with a proven track record as a lightweight fill material. By combining it with crushed stone, the unit weight can be controlled between 4 kN/m³ and 11 kN/m³. - **Drainage:** It can be used as a drainage material in civil engineering and greening projects. - **Aeration and Water Retention:** It can be used as an inorganic soil amendment for greening. - **Workability:** Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle, facilitating construction in uneven terrains and confined spaces. Like crushed stone, it can be installed through leveling and compaction without the need for curing periods or special techniques. - **Stability:** Being mineral-based and inorganic, it is physically and chemically stable, with no corrosion. - **Safety:** As it is made from naturally derived glass, Super Sol is composed of soil components, making it a highly safe material for the surrounding environment.
