Reason for the award
The construction project was situated in an area with heavy traffic, curves with poor visibility, and narrow sections that made it challenging for large vehicles to pass each other. To address these issues and reduce on-road labor costs, the company used ICT-based road surface milling machinery for ICT-based construction as requested by the contractor. Using on-ground laser scanners and the GNSS system reduced labor costs compared to conventional construction practices and the TS system. Additionally, the reduction in on-road labor enhanced safety levels. The company also hosts student interns from high schools in Iwate Prefecture each year, allowing them to observe ICT-based construction sites on a priority basis. This reflects the company’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders who will support social infrastructure in the future.
