Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I went there for the first time in a year!
That's right! The event this time of year!!
Construction Fair 2020 in Chubu!
Here's a look at the construction fair held amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Somehow, it feels a little sparse...
There weren't that many people, and there were only a few participating companies, so it felt a little sad.
But, well, that’s just the way it is—there’s nothing we can do about it—but even so, this one is something else!!!
I'll be introducing these.
That said, since almost all of them require association fees or patent licensing fees, they’re not that easy to use lol.
I hope this gives you a sense of how things work in the world.
As far as slope stabilization is concerned, no particularly groundbreaking technological innovations have emerged so far.
It's basically like a commercial for the patent technology that currently exists.
The photo above shows a vegetation mat called "Kyojin-ga" from Nippon Shosei.
A key feature of this product is that it comes with a bag of mortar; once installed, the mortar hardens and appears to function by trapping eroded sediment.
These are anchor pins and bags of mortar that have hardened.
Here are the ingredients—lol
It looks like it comes with a net and a bag of cement.
Since I haven’t been doing any vegetation restoration work lately, I can’t really say for sure, but I think it’s not a bad idea.
In terms of creating soil in that area.
In fact, the number of cases where vegetation-based construction methods are selected has decreased significantly.
That’s because, given the declining birthrate and aging population, as well as maintenance costs, sprayed concrete will inevitably take precedence over landscaping.
I’m not sure what the future of vegetation will look like, but I can see that various companies are working on a range of proposals.
What’s new today has every chance of becoming outdated by tomorrow.
Even if it's just a little, let's embrace something new. We've entered an era where we need to think about how to live for tomorrow rather than just for today.
Public utilities tend to be slow to change, but by attending events like this, you can get a sense of the trends of the times.
I highly recommend that you all attend construction industry events like this one.
It's important to understand the current trends.
See you later.
