[Super Sol Construction Case] A2 Case of Tsunami Evacuation Road Widening Project
Super Sol L2
This is a case of road improvement work on Municipal Road No. 3225 in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
We would like to introduce a case study of the construction using the artificial lightweight material "Super Sol," which is made by crushing and sintering waste glass to create a foamed glass product. In the disaster response project to widen a narrow coastal road for tsunami evacuation, it was adopted as backfill material for the retaining wall. The lightweight Super Sol is effective in reducing soil pressure, allowing for a thinner retaining wall. Due to the narrow and nearly vertical construction site, it was easy to lift and place the material in bulk bags, which was highly praised for its ease of construction. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: Improvement work on City Road No. 3225 - Usage Classification: Civil Engineering / Backfill for Structures / Retaining Wall - Client: Hitachi City - Construction Location: Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture - Required Performance: Lightweight, soil pressure reduction, ease of construction For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

"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.
