Structure can be seen as the framework that shapes a building. In structure design, we design this framework rationally and in fine detail, providing the client with safety and peace of mind. A building must also become an outstanding public asset. Based on this concept, we propose a structural plan that will be a benefit to society.
The types of buildings and their shapes differ widely depending on their purpose and use. There are also numerous structural materials and technologies to choose from. Everyone working in our structural design division must be thoroughly familiar with all these options. What’s more, each individual is expected to have outstanding technological skills in these different areas, so that we as an organization can meet the diverse needs of our clients by providing preeminent technologies in every field.
With assurance of structural safety as our top priority, we provide optimal spaces linked to the architectural design and equipment design, taking into account functionality, livability, durability, economy, and ease of construction.
For buildings requiring special aseismic measures (notably any buildings in Japan constructed before 1981), we carry out quake-resistance diagnosis and propose the optimal quake-proofing reinforcement method.
