We named it "Guardian" to watch over all the construction work.
The "Guardian," a large block with adjustable width and seismic resistance, is primarily used for roadside retaining wall construction. It allows for the width to be freely changed from 500 to over 3500 mm through connectors that link the front and back, and it can accommodate slope gradients from vertical walls to 1:10, including 1:1, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5 slopes. Compared to conventional products, it is significantly lighter, making it possible to use small cranes for installation, even in narrow sites. This product meets the current challenges in construction sites, such as "labor shortages," "shortened construction periods," "cost reduction," and the demands for "workability, safety, and aesthetics." Additionally, while traditional products required separate molds for each width, the "Guardian" can be manufactured using just one mold for the front and one for the back, providing advantages for manufacturing companies as well.

Company information
Shimanto Concrete Co., Ltd. is a company that manufactures and sells concrete secondary products at its factory in Shimancho, western Kochi Prefecture. The factory, located in the mountains, conducts manufacturing with consideration for the natural environment through the use of solar energy and other means. We handle various concrete secondary products, including the large block "Guardian," which won the Kochi Prefecture Local Industry Award this year for its adjustable width and seismic resistance, as well as the stone-faced block "Naturalock Shimanto" and porous concrete "Seiryu Shimanto." In particular, the "Guardian" allows for the width to be freely adjusted from 500 to over 3500 mm using fittings that connect the front and back blocks, making it significantly lighter than conventional products and enabling installation in narrow sites with small cranes. It is a product that contributes to shortening construction periods and reducing costs on job sites.
