The Gain CF Sheet Method is a technique that involves applying carbon fiber sheets treated with high adhesive penetration to concrete structures for the repair and reinforcement of tunnels. It has passed tests for "flammability, self-extinguishing properties, and the safety of emitted gases," making it suitable for use within tunnels. Additionally, the sheets are treated for high penetration and, when combined with a specialized adhesive, exhibit excellent adhesive performance. This helps to prevent the sheets from peeling during construction, ensuring safe installation. There are two types of sheets with different weaves: the "CR" type, primarily used for fall prevention, which incorporates carbon fibers woven in both vertical and horizontal directions, and the "UD" type, designed for reinforcement, which aligns carbon fibers in one direction. With the addition of the UD300, which has a weight of 300g/m², alongside the existing UD200 and CR200 (both with a weight of 200g/m²), the application range of the Gain CF Sheet Method has expanded.

The RBS form construction method is a cavity injection technique using polyurethane-based injection materials developed for the purpose of filling tunnel voids and reinforcing existing tunnels by filling the cavities behind the lining concrete. The high filling capacity and permeability due to the unique foaming of polyurethane resin allow for the filling of voids. Additionally, it penetrates cracks in the lining concrete, providing a waterproofing effect as well.

The SR method is a construction technique that involves injecting filling material into the voids behind the lining of existing tunnels and the backs of concrete structures, thereby integrating the ground and the structure. It excels in limited injectability that meets the required quality for the filling material in the back voids. 【Construction Procedure】 Air mortar is prepared by mixing a mortar made of a specified amount of cement, filling material, and water with foam generated by a foaming machine. This air mortar and the plasticizing agent "SRP-L" are each pumped and injected into the void while being mixed together at the injection point.
