- NATM Tunnel Design and Construction Technology
- Expertise in planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining structures, foundations and tunnels, as well as in disaster prevention measures, is crucial for large cross-section underground spaces and long tunnels spanning several kilometers. Our capabilities encompass geological survey result analysis, cross-section planning, excavation method selection, and ensuring safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness through numerical analysis reviews.

- Cut and Cover (C&C) Temporary Earthwork Retaining Wall Stability Analysis Technology
- By implementing actual stage-by-stage excavation plans in 3D numerical analysis for temporary earthwork excavation during urban underground road and subway construction, we account for varying excavation depths per section. This allows us to predict possible ground displacements and retaining wall member forces, which helps with design VE or construction risk identification and response planning, as seen in projects like the Singapore MRT.

- TBM Tunnel Design and Construction Technology
- Tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling involves mechanized and automated construction processes, from tunnel excavation to structural work and the removal of excavated rock and soil. This safe and eco-friendly method effectively excavates underground spaces, and our technical capabilities span all phases from planning, equipment selection, construction management, and risk hedging to construction.

- 3D Precision Stratum Visualization Technology
- To elucidate geotechnical risks in overseas projects and proactively prevent technical accidents, we employ cutting-edge geophysical exploration methods, such as elastic wave exploration, electrical resistivity exploration, and ground-penetrating radar exploration, to accurately visualize stratum structures. Our expertise spans various scales, from shallow foundation architecture/civil engineering structures and tunnel-front investigations to deep-ground resource and earthquake surveys.

In order to improve the digitalization and utilization convenience of the ground information DB, which is the basis of construction work, we have developed a digital map-based ground information system (DGIS) that can accumulate, analyze, and inquire ground information, and are using it in practice.
It is used to calculate the amount of civil engineering work and plan excavation construction through the connection of 2D/3D stratum information and Building Information Modeling (BIM), and contributes to resolving the ground risk when bidding / performing through 3D image analysis of stratum information.
