Abstract As the excavation depths during excavation works in urban sites are getting deeper and bigger, It is necessary to study for the improvements to solve the problems in the excavation processes. This research deals with the excavation method that can not only minimize the effect on the surrounding constructions, but also shorten the construction period of the excavation work. For this research, there have been an extensive literature review of the bibliographic data about Slurry Wall Method, which is recognized around the world, and the analysis of the major problems in the existing ineffective construction step. These efforts led to the technical improvements. Accordingly, a new construction method applied with the new technical factors has been suggested, and it was possible to compare Slurry Wall Method with the construction method and analyze them on the base of the examples using the suggested method. This new method decreased the excavation period by 15 days. It took only 33days to finish the excavation work, as compared to 48 days that can be seen on the pre-modification schedule. Furthermore, the suggested method in this research is safer, more economically feasible, and better for the environment than Slurry Wall Method. It will contribute to shortening the construction period of Slurry Wall Method in the end.
