We will brand and trademark the “EDC construction method”*1, an
environmentally friendly construction method that contributes to society and contributes to disaster prevention, with environmentally friendly construction that achieves results and high resilience capabilities.
As an environmental consideration, ultrafine particle photocatalysts are applied to flat panels used for temporary enclosures, soundproof panels and sheets used for noise and dust control, etc. to remove NOx and purify the air, as well as to improve antifouling effects. We will actively implement activities to reduce water usage by reducing the number of times cleaning is done.
