Technologies Presented at the Seminar
Technologies to be introduced:
①Soil improvement ②Revetment and embankment ③Flood control,Drainage ④Maintenance
July 18 (Wed.) (scheduled)

Company:ITOCHU CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO.,LTD.
Technical Name:HGS Eco-Tube Drained Method
Abstract:This is a method of using permeable geosynthetlc tube to effectively utilize low quality soil dredged from rivers,lakes,ports,and harbors which normally have high water content and low strength.Water is gradually drained through geosynthetic tube.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:Kajimaroad Co., Ltd. KRO Co., Ltd.
Technical Name:1.,Highly durable epoxy-based bonding agent for civil construction "KS-Bond"
2.,Infiltrating adhesives for Repair of concrete slabs "KS-Primer for Permeability"
Abstract:"KS-Bond" is the highly durable epoxy-based adhesive that is used as the bonding agent for bonding the fresh concrete to the existing steel or concrete structures.
"KS-Primer for Permeability" is the infiltrating adhesives for repairing concrete slabs. These products are structural adhesives that demonstrate superior performance in various construction methods, such as "bonded overlay method for roads and airports", "raising of various structures" in addition to "SFRC reinforcement method for orthotropic steel plate deck" and "adhesive bonding type cement concrete overlay method for concrete slab“.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:Kyowa Concrete Industry Co., Ltd.
Technical Name:Large-sized Concrete Block revetment Method for Environmental conservation
「Simple Base」
Abstract:The concrete block products,which are used at rivers and irrigation channels, prevent erosion of slope surface primarily and expect to enhance natural environment such as vegetation. In addition, it is easy to install and construct bank revetment efficiently because of the largesized product.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:JDC Corporation
Technical Name:Twister Method
Abstract:“Twister Method” is capable to crush 2-3 kinds of construction generated materials by high rotary speed of some flexible chains in cylindrical main unit, and at the same time capable to mix all materials uniformly. Moreover, it is the unprecedented method to improve high-moisture content cohesive soil such as Bangkok Clay efficiently and effectively in terms of quality and productivity. In Japan, our Twister Method has been producing over 5 million m³ of improved soil for more than 200 projects so far.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:ASHIMORI INDUSTRY CO., LTD.
Technical Name:Lattice-Frame-Reinforced Sheet method
Abstract:It is a surface layer improvement method of soft ground. The breakwater is constructed due to coastal erosion but they are sinking. It is a serious problem in Thailand, because the breakwater is constructed on soft ground. We conducted a test installation to improve the measures against the soft ground at Samut sakon in 2017. The amount of settlement is currently being measured.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:GEO-DRAIN ASSOCIATION
Technical Name:GEO-DRAIN SPD METHOD
Abstract:One of the vacuum consolodation method types, The efficient consolidation promoting can be expected with high vacuum system by ingenuities of excavation boundary and plumbing.
Technologies to be introduced:

Company:Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd.
Technical Name:CC-iR (Cable Checker-intelligent Robot)
Abstract:This system provides visual cable integrity inspection for bridges. A cube box remote controlled robot with a built-in camera climbs up to the top of the bridge on the gripping cable. The image of the cable surface can be monitored and inspected on the screen continuously on site without any temporary support nor aerial works.
Technologies to be introduced:
