The "EPS method" involves stacking large blocks of expanded polystyrene as fill material, effectively utilizing the characteristics of the material such as lightweight, compressive strength, water resistance, and self-supporting properties when stacked. It can be applied in areas where there is a need to reduce load and soil pressure, such as fill on soft ground, fill on steep slopes, backfilling for structures, vertical walls, and widening of embankments. The overall construction period can be shortened as ground treatment and temporary works are simplified. Additionally, it offers numerous benefits, including a reduction in overall construction costs, including maintenance after completion. 【Features】 ■ Ultra-lightweight and wide applicability - Unit volume weight is 0.12 to 0.35 kN/m3 - When applied as fill on soft ground, it can significantly reduce load and solve issues such as settlement and insufficient bearing capacity of the soft ground. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

As a method for evaluating the surrounding impacts of "proximity construction," it has become common to conduct impact verification through "analysis." However, in the current situation of labor shortages, we often hear concerns regarding typical analysis tasks, such as: - The people in the company who can perform analyses are at full capacity. - We do not have analysis software that matches the contracted content. - There is a lack of experience in analysis. - We would like to find external contractors who can handle analysis. At our company, we provide proposals that include various analyses along with countermeasures. We have compiled examples of problem-solving cases that may arise from analyses in proximity construction. We hope you find this helpful. 【Table of Contents】 - 01 Background of the increase in proximity construction - 02 Introduction of FEM analysis cases evaluating impacts during construction - Examination of the impact on existing bridge piers due to temporary earth retention and excavation work - Examination of the impact on existing railway tunnels due to newly constructed cast-in-place piles - Examination of the impact of lightweight embankments close to railways *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
