Infrastructure

Earthquake-proof and earthquake-resistant devices in infrastructure for homes and commercial buildings are vital to preparing for large-scale earthquakes. Saginomiya is committed to addressing this issue by developing devices of varying sizes and earthquake-resistant technology for personal residences and multi-floored buildings while supporting agencies in industry, academia, and government that work in construction and infrastructure.

Buildings and other structures can be evaluated for strength and durability through static/dynamic load tests, high-speed loading tests, vibration tests via earthquake shaking tables, and other assessments. Saginomiya actively contributes to research on improving earthquake-proof infrastructure through machinery that can be controlled along multiple axes as well as through high-capacity and high-speed actuators that simulate seismic activity.

We offer a wide variety of test systems for soil and rock mechanics to elucidate mechanisms that cause earthquakes, ground or strata assessment devices, and other equipment to evaluate geological conditions.

Our equipment is designed to test static and dynamic deformation for asphalt and road loads to improve the overall quality of Japanese infrastructure.

We offer a variety of evaluations for wood applications in personal residences and commercial structures, including our wall panel shearing test system, our full-sized fatigue test system, and other static and dynamic strength evaluations.

Earthquake simulators can be used to promote disaster preparedness amongst local communities. Saginomiya is a key provider of this equipment to government agencies.
