Expert in Disaster Prevention Technology

In recent years, Japan has been hit by several natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and landslides. To enable people to live without fear of such disaster, it is essential that they have the technological resources to prevent and minimize the damage. Other social requirements include the proper maintenance of the existing infrastructure and ensuring the safety of this infrastructure over the long term. By applying its expertise acquired through various aspects of the construction business, Tobishima helps to provide the safer living environment.

The disaster prevention cycle comprises 4 elements:

1. Damage Mitigation - constructing disaster prevention facilities (including earthquake-resistant buildings and dams)
2. Preparedness - which entails disaster prevention training
3. Emergency Response - which includes rescue and the prevention of secondary damage
4. Reconstruction and Recovery

Tobishima aims to fulfill its social responsibility as a general contractor in every stage of the damage prevention cycle.

Tobishima provides support for renovations considering all aspects of structure’s age, to pass on a reliable infrastructure to future generations.
