Japan has many breathtaking landscapes that leave you in awe. However, the ground on Earth is diverse, ranging from soft ground like wetlands to hard rock formations, and there are both flat surfaces and steep slopes. Additionally, due to the variety of flora and fauna, construction that places a burden on the natural environment can potentially destroy these landscapes. The environmentally conscious simple foundation method, "Ecology Foundation," offers various foundation shapes tailored to different ground types and uses, making it possible to install walkways and decks in areas that were previously difficult to construct. Bridges such as decks, beam bridges, and suspension bridges, as well as walkways and stairs, have been installed, becoming part of the landscape. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Doozer Wood Recycled wood that is resistant to UV rays and rainwater, and does not decay. ■ Luminous Wood Features a glow-in-the-dark line that gently shines at dusk. ■ GRP Glass Reinforced Plastic Excellent weather resistance/lightweight material/extends the lifespan of facilities. ■ Civic Art Furniture ★ Exhibiting at "Tourism EXPO Japan 2024"!

The "Spike Frame Method" is a construction technique that allows for the rapid installation of foundations for various structures. It uses a method called "BGF Method," which has obtained a construction technology performance certification, by driving steel pipes grouped in sets of four at an angle to reinforce the ground with specialized fittings. The width of the frame, the number of foundations, and the length of the steel pipes can be adjusted according to the scale of the construction. It exhibits high support strength due to the friction resistance of the steel pipes and vertical resistance. It can accommodate soft ground and slopes, and since it does not require excavation by heavy machinery or concrete pouring, it significantly contributes to shortening construction time. 【Features】 ■ Uses specialized fittings, allowing for manual driving of steel pipes ■ Ensures strength by using longer steel pipes even in soft ground ■ Allows for adjustment of post length on sloped land, enabling construction of buildings and terraces ■ Achieves a foundation that can withstand strong winds such as those from typhoons ■ Can be dismantled and reused *Please download the catalog to view construction examples.

The pin foundation is a foundation method designed for small structures such as boardwalks, Yatsuhashi bridges, and pavilions. In traditional concrete foundation methods, it is common to excavate a large area of ground and transport foundation blocks using heavy machinery. However, the pin foundation method does not use heavy machinery and does not require significant excavation of the ground surface. It is ideal for foundations in locations where heavy machinery cannot be brought in or where it is important to protect valuable natural environments. Additionally, it can accommodate soft ground conditions (equivalent N values of 0.5 to 2.0) where conventional methods cannot be applied.
