Japan-based infrastructure developer Kawakin Core-Tech Co., Ltd. recently announced the company's expansion thrust.
From conventional manufacturing for safety and security, the manufacturing giant of a wide range of seismic and structural devices now offers a total solution by making its expertise in structural analysis, inspection, and maintenance available in Japan and the international market.
Seismic and structural devices are used in many buildings, including residential and commercial buildings, and even bridges in Japan, where earthquakes happen more frequently than in the rest of the world.
Quake-proof building
Kawakin Core-Tech's seismic and structural devices reduce seismic forces and absorb the shakes from earthquakes to prevent damage to the main parts of buildings such as the columns and beams.
In addition to preventing buildings from collapsing and bridges from falling, the technology used ensures that the devices can be used even after a major disaster.
Amid the recent spate of large-scale disasters in Japan, an earthquake-prone country, the technology and know-how that Kawakin Core-Tech has cultivated through the years are becoming increasingly important as a core technology for safety and security that is indispensable for the creation of sustainable cities.
Furthermore, in Japan, as sustainable urban development progresses, the preservation and repair of aging infrastructure have become a social issue, and the bridge industry, in particular, is said to be in an era of "major maintenance". In response to these current social demands, Kawakin Core-Tech answers with a brand-new vision: A resilient future.
