  • Introduction Construction Business
    Introduction Kajima Corporation was founded in 1840 and quickly grew to become an industry leader in the field of construction, where it has remained as such ever since. Headquartered in Tokyo, Kajima’s global operations network has evolved in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the United States in virtually every area of construction and real estate development. Kajima Group maintains an approximate workforce of over 15,000 employees around the globe. By generating annual consolidated sales of approximately 18 billion US dollars, Kajima ranks as one of the top construction firms in the world. Our extensive experience and expertise in the development, design, and construction of all types of structures from dams, bridges and tunnels to skyscrapers, factories, commercial facilities and resorts has led to the Kajima name being well recognized worldwide. These prominent capabilities and a successful track record have also garnered us the respect, trust and confidence of our clients and the society, which is the key to our sustainable growth. Construction Business Although our second core business of Real Estate Development has made a remarkable growth, Construction remains our first core business, accounting for over 80% of our global revenues. It is divided into Building Construction such as office buildings, production plants, condominiums and other types of buildings, and Civil Engineering such as dams, bridges and tunnels, etc. ROPPONGI HILLS (Tokyo, Japan) Roppongi Hills was developed as a complex of many cultural facilities with the concept of “Bunka Toshin (city center with culture)”. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, the main and symbolic building of Roppongi Hills, has adopted various construction-related high-technologies such as HiDAX (seismic control system developed by Kajima), radio wave absorbent walls, and two-layered super double-deck elevators.

  • Chapter 3 Existing Condition of Bridges and Status of Bridge Maintenance
    THE STUDY ON CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IN BRIDGE REHABILITATION FINAL REPORT PLANNING, MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT BASED ON 29 BRIDGES FEBRUARY 2007 OF NATIONAL HIGHWAY NETWORK IN COSTA RICA CHAPTER 3 EXISTING CONDITION OF BRIDGES AND STATUS OF BRIDGE MAINTENANCE 3.1 Outline of Bridges in Costa Rica The total length of the road network in Costa Rica is approximately 35,000 km and some of it consists of international trunk roads (e.g., the Pan-American Highway). Land transport accounts for a vast majority of the total transport in Central America due to it being much more cost effective than either air or marine modes of travel. Therefore, strengthening and improving the road network is crucial for regional development. In addition, some trunk roads have no alternative routes due to topographical constraints. Therefore, negative social and economic impacts will be enormous for not only Costa Rica but also for the whole of Central America if these roads are not improved and well maintained. On the other hand, most of the current bridges, which are total of 1,330, on the national highway suffer from damage due to a lack of maintenance work and rehabilitation. Moreover, natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes frequently strike the country just like Japan. Costa Rica’s National Highway has 3 categories classified as following: - Class 1 : Route No 1 to 100 - Class 2 : Route No. 101 to 300 - Class 3 : Route No. 301 and over MOPT has made a Bridge Inventory for every national highway routes and recorded each location, length, width, river name, traffic Volume and type of bridges.

  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (Esia) Summary
    ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (ESIA) SUMMARY Project Name : Integrated Water Resources Management of the Nubaria and Ismailia Canals Country : EGYPT Environment and Social Categorization: II Project Code : P-EG-AAC-024 1. INTRODUCTION The Government of Egypt (GoE) through the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI)’s Horizontal Expansion Project Sector (HEPS) and financial support of the African Development Bank (AfDB) intends to rehabilitate and modernize the Nubaria and Ismailia canals with the aim of contributing to improved management of water resources in the canals. Nubaria and Ismailia Canals are two of the major multipurpose canals in the Nile Delta that provide water to approximately one third of the Nile Delta population. The Canals are of immense importance to the regional economy but face a myriad of problems related to poorly functioning infrastructure, seepage and water logging adversely affecting valuable agricultural land, insufficient water conveyance capacity, unauthorized abstractions, and environmental degradation from pollution. It is estimated that about 24- 26% of the water is lost from the canals in the form of seepage. This has resulted in the flooding of agricultural land and farms alongside the canals, depriving farmers of their main source of income and livelihood. To prepare the rehabilitation of the Canals, comprehensive feasibility studies funded by the African Water Facility, were conducted and finalized in 2014. These studies were prepared in parallel with the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA). This ESIA summary is prepared in compliance with national regulations and as per requirements of the AfDB’s Integrated Safeguard System (ISS) and Environmental Assessment Procedures (ESAP).

  • Global Maritime Weekly Digest Publishing Director: Prof Minghua Zhao Editor: Richard Scott
    Please note: this publication is intended for academic use only, not for commercial purposes Global Maritime Weekly Digest Publishing Director: Prof Minghua Zhao Editor: Richard Scott 10 January 2017 issue 57 ..................................................................................................................................... The Global Maritime Weekly Digest, based at Southampton SOLENT University, provides a regular flow of maritime news and analysis, of significance in a global context. Topics covered include shipping fleets and management, seaborne trade, ports, shipbuilding, ship recycling, maritime policy and regulations, and seafarers' labour. Contents (1) What happened in 2016: statistical summary of global shipping markets (2) Survival mechanisms in a protracted downturn (3) Comments on a new analysis of the main world shipping sectors (4) Maritime straits and their evolving role (5) Massive container movements through China’s ports (6) Accelerating fleet growth squeezes the tanker market (7) Container liner services: the worst of the downturn may be over (8) How well, or how badly, are various vessel categories performing? Editorial comments • A statistical summary of how global shipping evolved during 2016 in the main sectors is shown in item 1. Charter earnings in the tanker and bulker markets were down, but weak freight rates greatly deterred investment in new ships, which should eventually assist market corrections. • Comments on a new analysis of world shipping sectors are included in item 3. Although this publication provides much useful material on how the main sectors could develop over the next year or two, some of the ideas on the outlook over the longer term seem contentious. • Last year saw widely varying performances in China’s container ports (item 5), where about one-third of the world’s container movements are handled.
