Japan’s Largest Covered<br />

Final Disposal Facility Completed<br />

This is the Kizukuri-Inagaki municipal waste final disposal site in Aomori Prefecture,<br />

constructed by Kajima. Maintenance and control are made easy at this roofed disposal<br />

facility, which is located on reclaimed land. Thanks to the roof, work can proceed<br />

irrespective of weather conditions. The facility also prevents odors from escaping and<br />

waste materials from being scattered by the wind, thus serving to protect the<br />

surrounding landscape.<br />

Assessing the Seismic Vibrations of the<br />

Great Kanto Earthquake<br />

Information on the damage caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake have been collated<br />

and used to draw up a “map” of the damage and the distribution of seismic vibrations<br />

across the entire southern Kanto region. The results provide a clearer picture of the<br />

relationship between ground conditions and the distribution of seismic vibrations. This<br />

information may now be used in predictions of strong earth tremors.<br />

Kajima Sculpture Competition Wins the 2002<br />

Mécénat Award for Outstanding Corporate Culture<br />

Held for the 7th time in 2002, the biennial Kajima Sculpture Competition was inaugurated<br />

Corporation. The competition discovers new, emerging sculptors, serving as a launching<br />

pad for successful careers. It was awarded the Mécénat Award in appreciation of<br />

these factors, indicating the widespread recognition enjoyed by the competition in the<br />

sculpting world.<br />
