The artificial islands are reclaimed and constructed by filling soil into the area separated by revetment. In order to utilize the
artificial island earlier, soil improvement technique such as compacting and stabilizing soil is a key to shorten the project. Various
techniques were used for the construction of airport islands in Japan to overcome such strict conditions as deep water, soft
ground and large scale rapid construction. Sand compaction pile method, vibrating compaction method and dynamic
consolidation method etc. were adopted by JDREA contractors. Furthermore, the sophisticated settlement controlling system to
measure the ground settlement and deformation were introduced in these artificial island projects. Therefore, these airports have
been the best of the artificial islands in terms of scale and technology.
Deep-sea treatment barge

The improvement of quay depth at Tokyo Port, Yokohama Port and Kobe Port is necessary under minimized
construction period to accommodate the increasing size of container ships. The adoption of technology such as
improvement of soft seabed, installation of steel cell and steel jacket was completely a construction time saving that
extremely shorten the construction period.
Inland disposal of surplus soils from construction sites is becoming difficult due to environmental issue and limited dumping
sites. Therefore, effective utilization of surplus soils for reclamation work is useful because it provides alternative disposal
site in offshore with efficient containment and environmental friendly.

Environmental Conservation Technologies

Kashima Port & Industrial Zone is located approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Tokyo and one of the most popular
industrial zone with steel, petrochemical, fertilizer and thermal power plants in Japan.
This zone is one of the 22 area developed under principle of the integrated development and has been proceeding to
dredge the vast sand coast and construct the port and Industrial zone reclaimed using the dredged sand. This Integrated
industry system with port development contributed to the tremendous economic growth as the driving force in postwar
history of Japan.
For port construction facing the Pacific Ocean, Japanese latest technologies of that time for dredging, breakwater and so
on has been used. Currently the port is still expanding.

Since sea-water disposal yard is easily influenced by waves, construction work is progressed after waste is surely shut off with sea and
problems of safety & environmental preservation are cleared.
Dredging work is carried out with pollution-prevented curtain fencing around dredging area not to worsen surrounding environment with
polluted water.
And since most of sea-water disposal yards in our country are founded on weak ground, soil improvement is also important theme.
There are Sand compaction pile method and Deep mixed disposal method for soil improvement which are carried out to ensure safety
of revetment and shutting water off.
