SUMO^® Wall Shoes are utilized to create cost-effective tensile connections between precast concrete walls and foundations, as well as between precast concrete walls themselves. SUMO^® Wall Shoes are used together with HPM^® and PPM^® Anchor Bolt types incorporating specially designed AL washers.

Specifically engineered for tension splices of precast wall elements, SUMO^® Wall Shoes find applications in various structural components of buildings, including core walls and elevator shafts, to enhance stiffness. The transfer of loads from the walls to foundations or other load-bearing structures is achieved through the combined utilization of wall shoes, anchor bolts, and wall reinforcements. SUMO^® Wall Shoes are available in a range of standard models to accommodate diverse precast concrete wall connections.

The system comprises wall shoes and anchor bolts. The wall shoes are embedded within the precast concrete walls, while the anchor bolts are cast into foundations or other walls. During on-site assembly, the walls are erected on shim plates that have been adjusted to the proper position, and then secured to the anchor bolts using nuts and special AL washers as part of the bolt connection. The finalization of precast concrete wall connections involves grouting the recesses and joints beneath the wall.
