Lightweight fill for retaining walls, reinforced soil walls, and behind bridge abutments.
Lightweight glass foam material S2
Replacement with soil, specific gravity 0.4 to 0.5, reduces wall pressure! Easy construction with standard heavy machinery. Abundant track record nationwide.
Lightweight glass foam material is a porous lightweight foamed material made from recycled waste glass, used in lightweight embankment construction. In the civil engineering and construction fields, it leverages its lightweight properties to reduce settlement in embankments and road elevation corrections on soft ground, alleviate wall pressure behind retaining walls, and lessen loads on underground structures. It can also be utilized in mixed lightweight soil using excavated soil from the site. There are numerous delivery records, primarily in public works by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and various prefectural and municipal governments, including highways and private projects. Since lightweight glass foam material is made from waste glass bottles, it does not leach harmful substances, complies with soil environmental standards, and contributes to a recycling-oriented society. Lightweight glass foam material is an eco-mark product (17 131 006). - Features ○ For civil engineering, it is a gravel-like porous body ranging from 2 to 75 mm ○ Easy construction using standard heavy machinery for compaction ○ Excellent drainage even during compaction ○ Lightweight and easy to handle, with no preparation curing period, allowing for shortened construction time ○ High flexibility at the construction site, making it possible to work even with distorted terrain and buried pipes. It can also accommodate large projects ○ Can be combined with other lightweight materials ○ Eco-mark product (17 131 006) ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.
