1. The Reason I Visit Historical Erosion Control Facilities (60 minutes) The speaker has had the opportunity to observe various sites of sediment disasters and erosion control projects over many years. Sediment disasters strike suddenly with astonishing force, sometimes resulting in tragic incidents. In confronting these challenges, the creation of erosion control solutions reveals not only underlying technical ingenuity but also the wisdom and hardships expressed in each region. I hope to share and resonate with you on such examples during this opportunity. Speaker: Junichi Kamihara, Japan Erosion Control Frontier Promotion Organization *Break: 10 minutes* 2. Introduction to the "Loop Fence Type E" for Collapsed Sediment Protection (25 minutes) The "Loop Fence Type E" is a protective fence designed to efficiently capture moving soil masses associated with slope collapses. It is a product that has obtained construction technology certification from the Japan Erosion and Landslide Technology Center, combining stability, functionality, and reparability. This presentation will introduce the features of the product and its construction achievements. Speaker: Hirotaka Kamimura, Technical Committee Member, Loop Fence Research Association (Section Chief, Slope Disaster Prevention Division, Vertex Corporation) For more details, please visit the blog.

A course that directly addresses the unavoidable challenges of earthworks in disaster-prone Japan. We will analyze why embankments are vulnerable to rain and earthquakes through geotechnical engineering and teach countermeasures for "troublesome soils" such as special soils and soft ground. This practical approach, learning from past damage cases, will provide insights for design and construction that can be applied starting tomorrow. - "Characteristics of Earthworks and Troublesome Issues Expected in Design and Construction" (There will be a break of about 10 minutes during the session.) In our disaster-prone country, earthworks, especially embankments, have caused significant damage due to large-scale ground disasters resulting from earthquakes and heavy rainfall. This course will explain why earthworks are vulnerable to rain and earthquakes from a geotechnical perspective, as well as discuss countermeasures for special soils and soft ground, which are treated as troublesome soils in design and construction.

We are very grateful for the high praise received for our "Soil Loosening Machine Air Scoop." However, in light of the recent global rise in raw material and logistics costs, various manufacturers have announced price increases. Our company has made every effort to avoid passing these costs onto our selling prices through cost reduction and efficient inventory management. However, the repeated increases in procurement prices have exceeded what we can absorb through our own efforts. Therefore, in order to maintain a stable supply of products and the quality of our services, we regret to inform you that we will be revising our selling prices as outlined below. 1. Details: An increase of approximately 10% from the current tax-excluded selling price. 2. Implementation Date: From shipments dated February 1, 2026 (Reiwa 8). 3. Target Products: Soil Loosening Machine Air Scoop and its component parts. *For specific new prices, please contact our sales representatives.
