Greeting from Representative Director Keiji Nakaie
Human beings have been living on the earth, one of the planets, in outer space after birth and changing shape for several 100 million years. However, humans have left their footprints on earth only for the last several million years. At the present time, global environmental countermeasures imposed on humans who stand at the top of global system should not be taken at the level of countries but on behalf of the earth as a whole.
The “Japan Comprehensive National Development Plan” (Japanese Archipelago Remodeling Theory) prioritized civil engineering and transformed the state of the land. At the same time, large amounts of pollution are generated throughout Japan. These facts reflect the truth that our past development has caused nationwide pollution through careless disregard for the environment. Against this social background, a man who studied the science produced a construction-related consultancy during its early stages in Japan. We studied various science fields (geography, geology, oceanography, and ecology). After that, we reorganized the science fields as engineering and made various survey manuals contributing to land development and conservation in Japan.
Presently, our corporation is looking for encouraging signs that possible countermeasures for natural disasters—sediment disasters, flooding, and earthquakes—will come into view with the construction of a digital map and various simulations using a geographic information system (GIS).
From this background, we are working with the motto “contribute to creating a fruitful global environment. -

Safe and secure land development
As about 70% of lands in the Japanese archipelago are mountainous, there are limited areas that are safe and secure from volcanic disasters, sediment disasters (landslides, steep slope disasters, soil and sand flows) in mountainous areas with steep slopes, floods, liquefaction, and tsunamis. The Japanese islands are the so-called kingdom of disasters. Mr. Torahiko Terada, a famous physicist, essayist, and haiku poet, said “A disaster strikes when people do not expect it.” However, it is true that disasters have come one after another in recent years.
Disasters within recent memory include the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake (1995), the East Japan earthquake (2011), Mount Ontake eruption (2014), Kinugawa River flooding (2015), and Kumamoto earthquake (2016). We acquired a great deal of knowledge from these disasters; therefore, the potential dangers of natural disasters and dangerous areas should be surveyed. We would like to contribute to strong land formation for the reduction of disasters. View More ▶ -

Symbiosis with nature
Mankind established a fruitful and comfortable modern society with the remarkable development of science. On the other hand, it is well known that we more or less sacrificed the global environment in our progress. From introspection regarding the great and important losses over the last century, conservation and the reproduction of the global environment should be pursued to ensure that we can pass on to the next generation our irreplaceable and beautiful globe by creating a society in which mankind and nature live together. Our basic concept that mankind, just like other lives, is a part of nature and can contribute to producing a better global environment. View More ▶ -

Toward urban renewal
Cities were established at the same time as our social lives and played an important role according to time and region. However, there is a new era of city prosperity and interest today. The present is an era beyond a civilizational level in which there are many social systems and high concentrations of people live in cities. The city, the place of human activities, spreads in every direction and should be required to minimize its invasion of nature, society, and culture. We are thinking about task associated with cities that contribute to making towns in which we can live safely and comfortably. View More ▶ -

Geographic information system
The geographic information system is the basis of the urban disaster prevention basic survey, disaster assessment, environmental assessment, and urban planning basic survey. We can offer a database after compiling the analog, digital, and GIS information of the necessary and basic data. We organically use various information systems to plan, design (dealing with various established software), customize, and create. View More ▶
