By flowing like the guiding lights of an airport, it enhances the visibility of the regulated tip!

Chūnippon Highway Maintenance Central Co., Ltd. (Maintenance Chūō) presents the "Synchro Picatch," a guiding light for regulatory endpoints that boasts excellent visibility even during the day. By systematizing the ultra-bright LED warning light "Picatch," it operates in sync. Even in bright daylight, drivers can notice the presence of lane restrictions from a distance, facilitating smooth lane changes. The lights flow like airport guiding lights, enhancing the visibility of the regulatory endpoints. 【Features】 ■ Multiple ultra-bright LED warning lights "Picatch" blink in a flowing manner in sync ■ The blinking mode can be set using a wireless remote control ■ Uses lithium-ion batteries, eliminating the need for power sources like generators ■ Since there is no specific order set, any Picatch can be activated by turning on the switch *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Water jet that can be installed even in narrow spaces at the ends of the bed and the play area!

We would like to introduce the "Super Narrow Space Water Jet System" from Chūnihon Highway Maintenance Hokuriku Co., Ltd. (Maintenance Hokuriku). This system is a method (system) for repairing the edge of floor slabs of elevated bridges and structures, combining the removal of deteriorated areas in narrow spaces with restoration using fiber-reinforced cement composite materials to enhance the overall durability of the structure. Remote control operation ensures the safety of workers. It is capable of construction in narrow spaces both horizontally and vertically. 【Features】 ■ Ensures worker safety through remote control operation ■ By spraying ultra-high-pressure water, it is possible to remove deteriorated and weak areas of concrete without damaging existing rebar ■ For cross-section restoration, high-strength fiber mortar is used to achieve integration with the existing concrete *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

As an indicator for investors to assess a company's environmental initiatives, "obtaining environmental certification for owned real estate" plays an important role. The most widely adopted environmental certification for buildings globally, LEED, is also included in the evaluation criteria of the international standard "GRESB," which assesses real estate companies and funds. Since properties that obtain LEED certification receive international recognition, the number of certifications has been increasing in Japan in recent years. In this article, we will explain the overview of the global standard environmental certification "LEED" and provide examples of certifications.

To promote the use of wood in buildings, a government ordinance amending part of the Building Standards Act Enforcement Order, which reviews fire prevention and evacuation-related regulations for buildings, was promulgated on September 3, 2025, and will be enforced from November 1. This amendment includes necessary revisions to fire prevention regulations, such as interior restrictions, the installation of smoke vents, and the obligation to install smoke barriers. The seminar will provide explanations of the latest information based on materials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

Starting from the fiscal year 2025, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has included projects solely focused on seismic inspections of non-structural components in the recruitment program for subsidies for private school facility improvements under the emergency special promotion project for strengthening disaster prevention functions. Similar measures are expected to be implemented in fiscal year 2026 as well. Due to damage from falling ceiling materials and other so-called "non-structural component" damages caused by large-scale earthquakes, a guidebook titled "To Protect Children from Falling Objects and Collapsing Items Due to Earthquakes - A Guidebook for Seismic Reinforcement of Non-Structural Components in School Facilities" was created in March 2010. Many schools have made progress in this area, and in March 2015, a revised edition of the guidebook was published to further promote seismic measures for non-structural components. In this seminar, we will explain the necessity of inspections based on the "Revised Guidebook for Seismic Reinforcement of Non-Structural Components in School Facilities." We encourage you to utilize this seminar as an opportunity to gather information. Target Audience: ● School officials (facility management, etc.) ● Building maintenance and service industry ● Design offices ● General contractors
