Director of the Institute of Technology Shuji Kakegawa

Established in 1944 as a first in the industry, the Shimizu Institute of Technology has played a major role in the advancement of construction technology.

Today’s world demands safety and security in earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rains, and other natural disasters; building people-friendly facilities and communities where anyone can lead a healthy, comfortable life; initiatives for achieving a zero carbon society, a resource recycling society, and a society that coexists harmoniously with nature; and, in addition, improvements in productivity and quality at construction sites are also required.
To achieve these goals, the Institute of Technology continues to develop new technologies and pursue innovation and new values 10 years ahead of the times.

In addition to being a research and development base, the Institute of Technology also functions as site for testing to verify technology developed, and to disseminate information on our cumulative research to society.
We develop new technologies and solutions to create new value and contribute to a safe, healthy and sustainable future for everyone.
