Renovation
Protecting Building / Important cultural properties
Historic structures, valuable as cultural assets, often face numerous problems. After long periods of time, foundations may sink or buildings may age.
We handle renovations that preserve such historic structures, making the most of long-established ground improvement technologies.
Our track record includes the preservation and rebuilding of the Osaka Branch of the Bank of Japan in 1978 and the preservation and restoration of the Marunouchi station building of the Tokyo Station in more recent years.
Improving foundations in limited space
Reinforcing the foundations of the former Iwasaki Residence
To preserve the former Iwasaki Residence, a historic important cultural property built 120 years ago, we took measures to prevent subsidence of the foundations.
Since the work had to be carried out in limited space without affecting the old building above the foundations, we used a very small JETCRETE machine.
