「In its domestic construction-method proposal activities, the company worked to expand adoption of the implant construction method, focusing on national resilience initiatives such as disaster recovery and reconstruction, disaster prevention and mitigation, and infrastructure life-extension measures. As a result, adoption increased steadily, including for river embankment settlement countermeasures and seismic reinforcement of revetments in preparation for major earthquakes, seepage control for river embankments as part of basin-based flood management, and national road widening projects.」

「The range of applications expanded to infrastructure projects such as seawalls for earthquake, tsunami and storm-surge protection, river revetment improvements for flood control, expressway construction and port facility improvements, as well as cut-off walls adopted by private-sector companies to protect factories from flooding as a pre-emptive disaster prevention measure. Adoption of the construction method increased steadily.」

「The company expanded the range of applications for the implant construction method to road extension and improvement projects such as expressway renewal, port development projects involving the deepening of quays, seismic reinforcement of irrigation ponds, liquefaction countermeasures and flood-protection cut-off walls at private-sector plants. As a result, adoption of the construction method increased steadily.」

「Because of its advantages, the implant construction method is being adopted for highly urgent and complex disaster recovery, critical disaster prevention and mitigation and ageing-infrastructure measures, and the reinforcement of transport networks including expressways. Applications include the development of flood-control facilities such as coastal seawalls and river revetments, quay improvements at port facilities, road restoration, landslide prevention, and road extensions and improvements.」

「In its domestic method-proposal activities, the company worked to expand the Implant Method's application range in road extension and improvement projects, including expressway renewal, port development projects involving the substantial deepening of quay walls, and liquefaction countermeasures at private-sector plants, while focusing on disaster recovery and reconstruction, disaster prevention and mitigation for the future, and national resilience initiatives. Adoption of the method increased steadily.」
