Flood prevention measures during the rainy season Part 1 [Environmental Measures VOL.5]

We will answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood prevention?" Now, before the rainy season begins, let's prepare for typhoons and heavy rain.

Flood damage poses a significant risk to businesses. In recent years, the damage caused by floods and heavy rains has increased, greatly impacting corporate performance and sustainability. For example, the damage from the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018 and Typhoon No. 19 in October 2019 is still fresh in our memories, making it important to learn from these cases. Every time we see news of corporate facilities such as offices, warehouses, factories, and stores suffering from flooding, many stakeholders may worry, "Is our company going to be okay?" Measures against flood damage have become extremely important for business continuity. To address the question of "How should companies implement flood damage measures?", we will introduce the basics of flood countermeasures in two parts. Now, before the rainy season begins, let’s prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

Measures against flooding damage caused by typhoons and heavy rain! Uses superabsorbent polymer *Video explanation available.

● It is a water-absorbing, inflatable, bag-shaped temporary dam. ● Recommended for flood prevention measures against heavy rain, typhoons, and other water-related disasters. ● Before absorbing water, it is lightweight and easy to handle, and can be stored compactly. It won't be a nuisance even when kept on hand. ● When in use, fill the container with about 20 liters of water per Pig water bag, and knead it by hand while allowing it to absorb water. It will inflate in about 5 minutes. ● Pig water bags can be stacked up to three layers. ● If unopened, the shelf life is approximately 5 years. *Currently, we are offering a document summarizing recent trends in flood damage.

A clean, reusable, aesthetically pleasing sock-like absorbent material for water. It can be used to prevent water leaks and condensation from refrigerators, freezers, and cold cases.

- Made of polypropylene, it has the effect of suppressing mold growth, allowing for safe use over a long period. - By squeezing out the absorbed water and allowing it to air dry, it can be reused. Please avoid sun drying or using a dryer. Reuse is recommended up to three times. - Even after reuse, it maintains its shape well and is less prone to bacterial growth, which helps to reduce odors. - It is flexible and fits well around the refrigerator and in corners. - The polypropylene cover is resistant to tearing and is durable.

We will introduce the causes and measures of water pollution that have a significant impact on life and the environment.

During Japan's period of rapid economic growth, pollution-related diseases caused by environmental pollution continue to cast a dark shadow over victims, residents of affected areas, and the environment. Among pollution-related diseases, the four major diseases, which include Minamata disease, Second Minamata disease, Yokkaichi asthma, and Itai-itai disease, were particularly severe, with three of them (excluding Yokkaichi asthma) caused by water pollution. **Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in Minamata Bay, Kumamoto Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated by organic mercury discharged from factories. It is also referred to as the origin of pollution. **Second Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Agano River basin in Niigata Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated by organic mercury discharged from factories. **Itai-itai Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Jinzū River basin in Toyama Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of rice grown in water contaminated by cadmium discharged from mines. This time, I would like to address water pollution, which has a significant impact on life and the environment.

When wood is used at civil engineering sites, people often express surprise, asking, "Is this made of wood?" While many people associate "sheets" with steel plates, the sight of large wooden sheets lined up creates a strong impact at the site. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets made from CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) that is laminated in a perpendicular direction. A 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and suitable for use in temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The natural color and texture of wood blend well with the landscapes of forests, rivers, parks, and residential areas, clearly conveying that the construction is environmentally friendly. The presence of wood can also serve as a catalyst for information dissemination in site tours and promotional photographs. Hyper CLT sheets are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." Wooden sheets, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, wooden lightweight sheets. The unexpected use of wood in civil engineering expands the impression of the site and the potential of new materials.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The HDZ-0201 is a hydrogen leak detector designed for installation in equipment. It is used to measure the overall leakage from the entire inspected item (workpiece). - The atmospheric pressure chamber method involves covering the workpiece with a chamber, filling the inside of the workpiece with tracer gas, allowing the leaked gas to accumulate in the chamber, stirring the leaked gas, and forcing circulation to measure the gas concentration with a hydrogen detector. - The vacuum chamber method allows for high-sensitivity measurements by evacuating the chamber and then introducing atmospheric air into the chamber, directing the gas to the hydrogen detector. There are two methods available. It features a compact and lightweight design that is easy to integrate into equipment. Additionally, its concentration resolution capability is ultra-high sensitivity up to 0.1 ppm (depending on set conditions and environmental conditions). Detection principle: Semiconductor type Detection sensitivity: Equivalent to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (depending on inspection conditions and measurement environment) Usage: Equipment-integrated type (dedicated for installation in equipment) Resolution: 0.1 ppm Power supply voltage: DC 24 V External dimensions: W 93 × D 91 × H 97 mm
