太田ジオリサーチ Company Profile

Ground and slope disaster prevention consultant, coordinator

Our main product is consulting engineers. Their characteristic is that, based on the fundamentals of natural sciences (geology and geotechnical engineering), engineers who are licensed professionals directly collect information through field surveys, allowing for a high-level understanding of the natural conditions that "no two locations have the same ground or topographical conditions." This enables the appropriate extraction of important items that need to be evaluated on-site, leading to rational problem-solving. Unlike standardized ground modeling and analysis methods based on guidelines and manuals, we uncover core issues and phenomena not covered by standard methods, allowing us to propose highly effective countermeasures while also enabling the development of new analysis methods and construction techniques. For example, three-dimensional stability analysis considering peripheral strength (Ota-Hayashi method), seismic analysis of fill embankments in valleys (Ota-Enokida model), and slope stability countermeasures effectively utilizing the strength within soil masses (disruption method) have emerged from this background. Additionally, we make maximum use of IT, streamlining and reducing costs by procuring useful software from overseas or developing it in-house.
