River, Erosion and Sediment Control

RIVER

Major Services

River development will be required to harmonize with surrounding natural environments and people’s lives and to ensure the safety of river basins against rainfall.

Taking these considerations into account, we plan and design the strengthening of earth levee, widening of river width, and creation of nature-oriented river works.

River Planning
河川計画

The rivers will pose a threat to the communities due to flooding, while they will also provide places of diverse creatures and blessings of nature, as well as places of relaxation for people.

We will plan safe river spaces based on a comprehensive understanding of flood control, beneficial water use, and ease of maintenance.

Design of River Facilities
河川施設設計

River facilities are essential to enhance the safety of river basin against flooding and protect the people from flood disaster.

We aim to contribute to the development of earth levee, revetment, drainage sluice gate, and drainage pump station as well as strengthening of existing earth levee against earthquakes. We determine the scale and structural details based on topography, geology, and flood characteristics. Subsequently, we examine the construction methods and design the river facilities for construction.

Nature-oriented River Works
多自然川づくり

Rivers are precious habitats blessed with abundant nature and waterside for fauna and flora. There is a need to conserve its precious river environment.  

We, while taking into consideration the natural operation system in the river environment, propose in creating nature-oriented rivers that can preserve habitation and breeding environment for living organisms.

In order to create a river environment that is well-liked by the community, we will build a consensus among citizens and propose a river environment that is connected to local life, history, and culture.

Erosion and Sediment Control 

Major Services

In order to protect the lives of people living in the river basin, erosion and sediment control projects will be implemented to control the sediment runoff caused by rainfall. We evaluate the possibility of occurrence of landslide disasters as well as plan and design the layout of erosion and sediment control dam.

Plan and Design of Erosion and Sediment Control Facilities
砂防施設計画・設計

In recent years, landslides have occurred frequently claiming many lives and properties. We develop the layout plan of erosion and sediment control facilities for capturing mudslides and driftwoods along with preparation of application documents for project approval.

Additionally, we design the erosion and sediment control facilities, including erosion and sediment control dam, mountain stream conversation works, sediment-retarding basin works, and sediment trap works that are compatible with local conditions.

Fundamental Survey of Sediment and Erosion Control and Setting of Warning Zones
砂防基礎調査・警戒区域設定

In preparation for the occurrence of landslide disasters, it is necessary to know the areas where disasters are likely to occur and link them to the evacuation actions of residents.

We conduct necessary fundamental surveys in accordance with Sediment Disasters Prevention Act to designate Sediment Disaster Prone Areas and Sediment Disaster Special Alert Areas with the aim to help create an evacuation system in case of a landslide disasters.
