Simultaneous Construction Method using a Honeycomb Segment

This is a shield tunnel rapid construction method, which carries out advancing and segment assembly simultaneously using a hexagonal Honeycomb Segment. Because the inner surface of the segment is smooth, a tunnel can be constructed without a secondary tunnel lining, allowing for a reduction in construction costs and shortening of construction schedule by the reduction of the digging diameter. The simultaneous operation makes shield tunneling in long distance much faster.

R&C Method

This is a no-dig construction method for underpass constructions. After taking on the orbital or road load with a rectangular steel tube attached with a friction-cut plate, it shoves the precast box culvert and replaces the steel tube with the box. It allows for a construction of a quality underpass with small earth covering. We have taken on over 250 experiences up till now.

Truck-mounted dry ceiling grinder

As a preceding process to the repair and strengthening construction of a tunnel ceiling in service, this machine provides surface preparation, grinding grime or previous coating films off the concrete surface. The high-speed rotating bit of the grinder in the machine is pressed against the ceiling with controlled pressure and provides automatic surface preparation at a constant rate. The grinder is equipped with a double anti-scattering frame and suction device to prevent dust from scattering. This machine saves labor, and improves safety, quality, and uniformity compared to human labor.
