Study Tours of Civil Engineering Facilities for International StudentsHEADLINE


We have been running a new project from 2013, “The Study Tours of Civil Engineering Facilities for International Students under the Asian Human Resources Fund Program”.
This “Study Tour” aims to broaden our students’ view and draw on their experiences by visiting various important facilities and infrastructures in Japan.
Furthermore, sometimes we try to invite students from other projects in the tours. We believe that would help our international students to establish meaningful connections between them, both for their study and life in Japan.

3rd Tour; The Visit to KAJIMA Technical Research Institute

Date : May 20
Location: 2-19-1 TObitakyu, Chofu-shi, Tokyo

The 3rd tour had taken place at KAJIMA Technical Research Institute, which is the technopark of one of the major construction companies in Japan.
We visited their laboratories and toured their latest testing equipments and top-class experimental facilities in the construction industry; the large-scale wind tunnel test facilities, the marine and hydraulics experimental facilities, the high performance 3-dimensional shaking table producing the world’s largest amplitude of displacement in long-period motion, and so on.
Furthermore, this institute is highly-praised in Japan, with its comfortable working spaces for researchers and also environmental amenity for neighbors too.
We could see not only their outstanding technologies but also their responsibility for society and the environment through the tour.
