Our company is a research institute focused on urban disaster prevention, established in 1990 under the leadership of Professor Masanobu Shinozuka from Columbia University in the United States. We provide earthquake risk management (referred to as SRM) to support the selection of efficient earthquake countermeasures by estimating the downtime and damage costs caused by earthquakes. Earthquake countermeasures include hard measures, financial measures, and the planning of business continuity plans (BCP). The achievements of SRM so far include various industrial facilities such as oil refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, paper manufacturing, automotive, automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, steelmaking, electronics, and home appliances. Additionally, we also work on power plants and airports.
