Fukken's geotechnical engineers, who are well versed in geotechnical and foundation engineering, are carrying out works on planning, investigation, analysis and designing related with geotechnical and soil exploration.
Geotechnical and soil exploration is quite important in the development of such infrastructures as roads, railways, underground structures, dams, dikes, river-work structures, marine structures, water supply and drainage structures, parks, development of groundwater, development and reclamation of land, local and national disaster prevention works and so on.
Keeping in mind recent important themes such as preservation of natural environment, harmony of man with social environment and preservation of global environment, the geotechnical and soil exploration group is carrying out R & D to ascertain the effects of development to the environment from the viewpoint of environment-oriented geotechnical engineering.
