The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant<\/strong> just unveiled a major upgrade to its tsunami defenses. This project is particularly interesting for its use of innovative construction techniques. Hirose’s expertise in Terre Arm\u00e9e technology was instrumental in delivering a safe and efficient solution for this critical infrastructure project through technical assistance on-site and supplying components.<\/p>\n<\/div>
\nA new 16-meter seawall<\/strong>, completed for TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), will significantly reduce the risk of damage from future tsunamis<\/strong> triggered by earthquakes in the Japan Trench<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nHirose Hokyodo, a Terre Arm\u00e9e licensee<\/strong>, played a key role by designing and supplying a 7,000 m\u00b2 Reinforced Earth\u00ae wall<\/strong>.
\nNotably, they successfully incorporated “ashcrete,” a special material combining coal ash and cement, for the embankment. This not only offered rapid hardening but also eliminated the need for additional strip support structures, streamlining the construction process.<\/p>\n
