This is a case study of the renovation work on the fountain area at the west exit square of Shinjuku Station.
We would like to introduce a case study of the construction of the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," made from crushed and sintered waste glass, in the context of reducing the weight above an underground parking lot. In the landscaping work at the fountain square of Shinjuku Station's west exit, lightweight Super Sol was used to reduce the load on the drainage base material and the underground parking lot. A cage mat was used to secure the underground pillars supporting the tall trees, and Super Sol was filled into the cage as the drainage base material. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: Renovation work for the fountain area of Shinjuku Station's west exit square - Usage Category: Civil Engineering / Structural Protection / Existing Structures - Client: Tokyo Metropolitan Government - Construction Location: Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo - Required Performance: Lightweight, Load Reduction, Drainage Capability 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, characterized by its porous structure. It is an artificial lightweight aggregate with an irregular particle size ranging from 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 distorted terrains and narrow spaces. Like crushed stone, it can be installed through spreading and compaction without the need for curing time or special techniques. - **Stability:** Being mineral-based and inorganic, it is physically and chemically stable and does not corrode. - **Safety:** Since it is made from naturally derived glass, Super Sol is also composed of soil components, making it a highly safe material for the surrounding environment.
