[Case Study] Chūnihon Highway Engineering Nagoya Co., Ltd.

Reducing risks during weeding operations! A case of "pipe protection sheets" that easily protect existing cables from accidental cuts.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the pipe protection sheet "Easy Guard" at Chūnippōn Highway Engineering Nagoya Co., Ltd. Due to a large-scale renewal project by NEXCO Chūnippōn, communication trunk cables that were buried in the highway were temporarily relocated to the land beside the highway. The cables are covered with FEP piping, but since the construction period spans several years, measures and innovations have been taken to prevent accidents where the cables could be accidentally cut along with the FEP piping during regular weeding operations. In response, a cut-resistant woven sheet that can be easily wrapped around the piping was co-developed. This made it easier to attach to the piping and to the bent sections, thereby reducing the risks during weeding operations. [Case Overview] ■ Background: "Prevention of cable cutting accidents during weeding operations" and "Improvement of work efficiency" ■ Solution: Co-development of a cut-resistant woven sheet that can be easily wrapped around the piping ■ Effect: Easy attachment to the piping and bent sections *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
