[Construction Example] Two factories adapted into one building in accordance with the Building Standards Act.
Construction method that does not stop factory operations" - Sugiya Metal Industry Co., Ltd. "Connection Method
The "Connection Construction Method" is a technique for constructing (or expanding) a new building with aligned floor levels between two or more existing buildings that are located apart (in the vacant space of the site), thereby integrating them. In this case, the two factories being renovated were built under old building codes, so we first conducted an investigation and planning of the site and a seismic diagnosis to comply with current building regulations. After implementing seismic reinforcement and compliance work, a new factory was established and integrated between the buildings. As a result, we were able to transform it into a new factory, 56 meters in length, that meets seismic standards and the current building code requirements. 【Target for Construction】 ■ We want to maximize the use of existing buildings. ■ We want to create connections between each building that stands independently on the site. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Yoshizawa Architectural Structural Design Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive design office that consistently handles everything from planning and design to construction and after-service for factory rebuilding and renewal in-house. There are various reasons for wanting to renew an aging factory or introduce new equipment, but the current situation is fraught with challenges, such as the inability to stop production, the costs associated with relocating to a temporary factory, and the resulting decrease in productivity. Our company employs methods like "Cover Build," which involves constructing a steel frame over the existing factory while keeping production equipment in place, and "Separate," which divides the construction period into phases (e.g., Phase 1 and Phase 2) to avoid a decline in operational rates during rebuilding. Additionally, to assess the potential damage buildings may incur during an earthquake, we conduct various seismic surveys, including crack investigations, concrete strength assessments, and rebar layout measurements. Based on the survey results, we propose seismic reinforcement plans. We focus on preserving the assets of companies, including buildings, machinery, materials, and products. Furthermore, we ensure the prompt recovery and continuity of operations. Supporting everything from seismic diagnosis to reinforcement comprehensively is what we, "Yoshizawa," are dedicated to.
