The future of public works that we envision NX-DAM
In anticipation of technological innovation that will occur in the near future, we expressed the ideal form of public works as an example of a sabo dam
Civil engineering development methods have not been updated for a long time, and there is an urgent need for coexistence with ecosystems that are close to humans and nature
Public works generally use a lot of cement, but by adopting a 3D design that optimizes the amount used, it is possible to reduce Co2 emissions, shorten the construction period, suppress the impact on the ecosystem and the thinning of the coast is possible
Utilization as an attractive facility in the concession business will also be activated
In addition, the installation of IoT devices has made it possible to perform disaster prevention measures and maintenance remotely.
We named this dam -Next Expression- -NX-DAM- and would like to contribute to the realization of this method.
