Overwhelmingly fast construction! Reconstructing and extending the lifespan of concrete corrosion caused by hydrogen sulfide and aging manholes using FRP rehabilitation materials that allow for adjustable wall thickness.

The Bertiliner method is a technique for rehabilitating concrete that has been corroded by hydrogen sulfide and aging manholes using FRP rehabilitation materials. This method consists of FRP rehabilitation materials, a load-bearing ring, and supporting mortar, and the live loads and superimposed loads acting on the manhole are transmitted from the load-bearing ring through the FRP rehabilitation material and then through the supporting mortar to the base slab. Additionally, by using acid-resistant glass fibers and light-curing resins in the rehabilitation material, high-strength rehabilitated manholes can be formed in a short time. The thickness of the FRP rehabilitation material can be designed according to site conditions, allowing for the selection of efficient rehabilitation materials. **Features** - Self-supporting, not relying on the strength of existing manholes - Overwhelmingly fast construction - Integrated rehabilitation of sloped and vertical walls - Complies with seismic levels 1 and 2 **Applications** - Reconstruction and extension of the lifespan of aging or damaged manholes - Types: Prefabricated and cast-in-place - Shapes: Circular Φ900, Φ1000 - Manhole depth: 5m

It discharges dirt, organic matter, biofilm, manganese, and red rust outside the pipe with ice, which causes a decrease in flow in the pressure pipeline and leads to the generation of hydrogen sulfide that causes corrosion!

The "Ice Pigging Pipe Cleaning Method" is a revolutionary pipe cleaning technique that uses a special ice slurry to scrape off deposits and contaminants from the pipe walls, allowing for discharge outside the pipe without damaging it or causing blockages. The slurry-like ice pig can easily follow bends and changes in pipe diameter, ensuring stable cleaning without the risk of clogs. Additionally, the special ice slurry is made from water and salt, making it environmentally friendly and harmless to humans. [Applications] ● Removal of accumulated dirt that causes a decrease in water flow rate ● Removal of dirt that leads to the generation of hydrogen sulfide, which causes internal corrosion ● Removal of peeling and floating seal coats in aging water pipes ● Removal of organic matter and biofilms that cause water quality deterioration and chlorine consumption ● Removal of manganese and red rust that cause colored water issues ● Cleaning of complex piping shapes with bends, different diameters, and horizontal sections.

A technology for extracting leak investigation locations across the entire target area using satellite image analysis.

By analyzing images captured from satellite radar emitting L-band microwaves and detecting the unique reflection characteristics of tap water or sewage mixed with soil, we can identify suspected leak locations within a radius of 100 meters. We streamline fieldwork by narrowing the sound survey target distance to an average of 1/10, maximizing the absolute number of leak detections in a short period, including underground leaks that are difficult to visually detect. The results of the field survey can also be input on-site using communication devices such as smartphones linked to GPS, allowing for real-time sharing with the office. Unlike deterioration predictions, we can provide actual soil moisture observation data, enabling us to conduct comprehensive leak investigations in an "efficient" and "cost-effective" manner. ● Purpose Comprehensive screening survey for leak investigations (narrowing down the range of on-site sound surveys) * On-site sound surveys are not included in this service. ● Features Shortened duration for comprehensive surveys (analyzing the entire target area in about 2 months) Increased efficiency and reduced costs for sound survey work (narrowing the survey distance to an average of 1/10) Early detection of underground leaks (reducing effectiveness decline and secondary disaster measures) Digitalization of field surveys (utilizing GIS pipeline data and communication devices) Optimization of pipeline renewal plans (using survey results as foundational data for pipeline diagnostics)

Software that visualizes various risks and issues in pipeline renewal planning using AI technology, supporting the formulation of optimal pipeline renewal plans.

Using AI genetic algorithms, we visualize a group of renewal plans that minimize costs, construction conditions, and risks from leaks, among billions of possibilities. We provide renewal plan proposals that could not be fully considered by human minds. Additionally, by selecting renewal plans through packaging, it is possible to extract renewal targets based on construction units rather than the length of pipelines on the ledger. The order of high-risk items is not necessarily the optimal order. ● Purpose Support for developing pipeline renewal plans ● Features Provides optimal renewal plan proposals according to budget - Allows selection of renewal plans that can reduce risks more effectively within a limited budget - Visualizes the effects obtained based on the budget used Enables efficient use of time through the process of developing renewal plans - Allows for more time to be spent on specific designs after the development of renewal plans - Enables annual plan reviews and adjustments during the term Centralization of information including knowledge and experience - Conditions can be added to align with the organization's considerations, not just based on risks and priorities - Accumulated insights from experienced organizational staff can be passed down through the software If necessary, the following functions can also be applied to the assessment of pipeline leak risks.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.
