PCウェル工法研究会 Company Profile

Realization of superior open caisson construction.

The PC Well Method Research Association was established in June 1984 with the aim of promoting the method developed by the Ministry of Construction's Civil Engineering Research Institute (at the time), which is based on the PC Well Method that involves the use of a bottom-expanding excavator and cylindrical precast concrete blocks suspended and installed as caissons. Since then, many companies have participated in the activities of the research association, and as of now, there have been over 2,500 construction achievements related to the "PC Well Method." Additionally, the "Automated Open Caisson Method (SOCS)," which has been developed since the 1990 fiscal year as part of the Ministry of Construction's comprehensive technology development project, has been adopted in nine projects to date. The research association was founded with the purpose of spreading and developing this new construction method and improving construction technology. It has established permanent committees for public relations, estimation, construction, and design, and is committed to diligent research and development, hoping to contribute, even in a small way, to national land development.
