Delivery Title: Development of a "Slim Trench" with Indicator Function Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has developed a surface-mounted cable trench (indicator trench and flat trench) with an indicator function that can be installed on road surfaces. ■Background■ In Japan today, discussions are underway for smart cities aimed at optimizing infrastructure and facilities to enhance convenience and comfort. In smart cities, various electronic devices are installed throughout the urban area, while communication and power cables, as well as water and gas lines, are buried beneath the pavement. One of the challenges in smart cities is to install new equipment while avoiding these existing utilities and ensuring cable routes. ■Product Features■ This product has a thickness of 55.5mm, which is about half the thickness compared to the minimum size class of 130mm for concrete cable trenches, allowing for a reduction in the amount of ground excavation required. This thickness is comparable to paving materials such as interlocking blocks and tactile paving blocks, enabling replacement with existing paving materials without significant changes to the foundation. Additionally, by integrating the indicator and cable conduit, simple installation is made possible.

● Developed and released a dedicated bell block for on-site handholes in tunnels using square E-flex. ● Improved workability by changing the material from resin concrete to resin, reducing product weight by approximately half. ● Contributed to the development of road infrastructure by shortening construction periods for tunnel work using square E-flex. As a new addition to the multi-line square E-flex series, we have developed and released the Bell Block Lite, which can contribute to shortening the construction period for tunnel cable installation. Compared to the conventional resin concrete bell blocks, it is lightweight at about half the weight, which is expected to enhance labor efficiency in construction. Additionally, while the current mainstream wall thickness for on-site handholes in tunnels is 150mm and 200mm, the previous resin lineup required a 50mm recess at the connection part of the handhole bell block for a wall thickness of 200mm for curing. With the addition of a type that accommodates a wall thickness of 200mm, it will now be possible to handle handholes with a wall thickness of 200mm without the need for curing.

**Expert in Power Distribution Board Manufacturing: Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd.** Mr. Watanabe works in the General Affairs Department of Takahashi Electric Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the manufacturing of power distribution boards that are indispensable in modern social infrastructure. **Risk of Rainwater Infiltration into the Factory! Safety Measures and Risk Management at the Sheet Metal Factory** "At the entrance of our sheet metal factory, a small hill forest is encroaching, and during typhoons or heavy rain, there is a risk that rainwater will flow from the forest into the factory entrance. Since there are expensive equipment such as laser processing machines inside the factory, it was necessary to implement risk management to prevent rainwater from entering the factory entrance. We considered stockpiling sandbags, but they are heavy and deteriorate quickly, causing the contents to spill out. Therefore, we concluded that sandbags were insufficient as a safety measure for the factory." **Preparing for Flood Damage to the Factory with the Folding Water Stop Board F-shield** "The folding water stop board F-shield is easy to handle because it is foldable, allowing for timely storage and movement. Additionally, its bright yellow color enhances visibility, which is also appealing. I appreciate its sturdiness compared to sandbags, making it more user-friendly."

Mr. Kamiyama is involved in the management of two companies: Miyauchi Construction Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the construction industry, and Koshiki Fruit Garden Co., Ltd., which handles the production, processing, sales, and café operations of passion fruit. "The area around our company is at a low elevation, and the sea level can rise and fall repeatedly in a short time due to 'abiki,' causing the roads to flood. Three years ago, for the first time, we piled sandbags in front of the fruit processing factory, but it was a huge task. The occurrence happened around 8 PM, and I had been drinking, so I couldn't drive a truck. Therefore, I asked someone from work to transport the sandbags stored in the fire department's warehouse by car. 'Abiki' can raise the water level in about 30 minutes. I felt that it would be too late to go and get the sandbags and stack them." "The foldable water barrier F-shield takes up little space when stored folded and can be set up quickly. It is lightweight, making it easy for elderly women working in our processing factory to handle, and it looks better than sandbags, so it can be placed in visible areas without worry. I want to be well-prepared for sudden 'abiki' with the foldable water barrier F-shield."
