[Presenting case studies useful for seismic evaluation] Supporting seismic evaluation and reinforcement work for high-pressure gas storage tanks (spherical tanks, flat-bottomed refrigerated tanks, etc.)!

For high-pressure gas equipment classified as Importance I and Ia, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has stipulated the formulation of seismic reinforcement plans in the document "On Improving the Seismic Resistance of Existing High-Pressure Gas Facilities (20140519 Commercial Bureau No. 1)." Our company has been advancing seismic evaluations, studies, designs, and construction for numerous LPG storage tanks owned by the Idemitsu Group. In our studies, we applied the latest knowledge in seismic motion evaluation and developed and introduced new high-precision simulations to accurately assess behaviors such as shaking and deformation during an earthquake. Through these efforts, we have contributed to improving the seismic performance and ensuring the safety of high-pressure gas facilities by identifying reinforcement locations and subsequently selecting appropriate construction methods and carrying out reinforcement work. 【Do you have any of these concerns?】 - I want to proceed with seismic evaluation but need advice on how to do so. - There are multiple pieces of equipment that require seismic evaluation, and I want to address them systematically. - The results indicate that there are more reinforcement locations needed than expected. I want to reconfirm if this is really the case. - Area constraints may pose limitations on seismic reinforcement work. Are there any good methods available? Our experienced engineers will propose optimal solutions for seismic reinforcement. Please feel free to consult with us.

Are you struggling with the integrity assessment of long-standing high-pressure gas piping? Idemitsu Eng. verifies integrity at minimum total cost based on experience in refineries!

Are you unsure where to start with the seismic resistance evaluation of existing high-pressure gas piping amid the increasing risk of major earthquakes? Idemitsu Engineering can confirm the integrity of your equipment at a total cost minimum based on our experience in refineries. 【Features】 - Based on our experience within Idemitsu facilities, we identify weak points in the piping through a walk-down inspection. - We conduct detailed evaluations only on the identified areas, minimizing evaluation costs. 【Benefits】 We can verify the seismic resistance of existing high-pressure gas piping built to past standards, ensuring reliability against future major earthquakes. (As of 2016, evaluation of existing piping is not mandatory, but there is a possibility that it may become mandatory in the future, similar to tanks.)

Are you struggling with the high costs of seismic reinforcement for high-pressure gas facilities? Cost reduction is possible by utilizing Idemitsu's experience and simulation technology!

[Until the end of September] You can download a paper that includes case studies of seismic evaluations of high-pressure gas tanks utilizing our simulation technology! ********************************************* [Overview] Regarding the improvement of seismic resistance for existing high-pressure gas facilities (Commercial Bureau No. 1, 20140519), it is required to formulate renovation plans aimed at seismic reinforcement for equipment classified as importance level 1.1a. At Idemitsu Engineering, we can provide optimal proposals based on case studies from Idemitsu Kosan's refineries and factories. [Features] ◆ With a highly accurate evaluation method, reinforcement costs can be minimized. 　⇒ By using "earthquake motions based on the latest knowledge" and "structural simulations," we can achieve highly accurate seismic evaluations. Consequently, it is possible to reduce reinforcement costs to the limit. (There are also cases where reinforcement was deemed unnecessary.) ◆ We have a track record of reinforcement work even in difficult and narrow locations. 　⇒ We have experience enabling construction in narrow spaces surrounded by existing facilities by adopting small pile driving machines.

[Free distribution of literature on simulation case studies] Quick response and low cost! We will solve your equipment issues with Idemitsu's simulation technology. At Idemitsu, we have focused on the potential of computer simulation for plant safety and efficiency from an early stage, and have been utilizing it for over 30 years. During this time, we have independently developed simulation technology that can accurately reproduce plant behavior by comparing operational data and various conditions with calculated values. Are you facing any of the following issues? - Not knowing what is happening in the plant and having no way to take countermeasures. - Having a sense of the cause but wanting to understand it quantitatively. - Wanting a decisive factor to determine which of several solutions is the best method. - Unable to validate in the actual plant, and confirmation takes time and costs, so wanting to quickly and easily verify improvement effects. Idemitsu has experience with hundreds of fluid and structural simulations. We will assist you in clearly identifying fundamental issues and linking them to essential problem-solving. Please feel free to consult with us.

In civil engineering sites, workers stand for long periods and move around the site multiple times. Muddy and uneven ground makes walking difficult, leading to strain on the feet and back, as well as an increased risk of falls, so ensuring a stable work path is important. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize laminated CLT wood. By laying them down in areas such as temporary roads, material storage sites, assembly areas, break areas, and worker pathways, they help reduce unevenness and mud, creating a more walkable environment. They possess surface characteristics unique to wood, providing a walking environment that differs from metal plates. The 5×10 panel weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of installation and removal. Additionally, they can be used to address environmental concerns such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation, as well as measures against heatstroke. They are recommended for creating worker-friendly sites and innovative public works as a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A."

In civil engineering sites, due to the effects of rain and mud, temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards can become slippery. To ensure the safety of vehicles and workers, it is important to choose appropriate mats for the site conditions and to improve the footing environment. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize laminated timber. They possess surface characteristics unique to wood and can provide a non-slip footing environment that differs from metal steel plates. They can be used in a wide range of civil engineering sites, including temporary roads, vehicle entrances and exits, mud prevention, ground protection, heavy machinery scaffolding, and worker pathways. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which contributes to labor-saving in installation and removal. It should be noted that slipperiness can vary depending on weather, slope, mud or oil adhesion, and installation conditions, so on-site verification and appropriate maintenance management are necessary. This wooden mat is registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A" and can be utilized for safety measures and creative ideas.
