Always remain loyal to our mission under the name of “Fukken (reconstruction)”
Our former company, an incorporated association “Fukko Kensetu Gijutsu Kyokai (Reconstruction Engineering Association)” was established with the aim of reconstructing Japan after World War II. The word “Fukken” in our company name represents our determination to hand down the original spirit to future generations.
For this reason, participating in reconstruction support activities in the event of a disaster is an important theme – in other words a social mission – for us. When large-scale disasters hit Japan, we have always made our utmost efforts to help the victims and to restore important social infrastructure as soon as possible.
We will remain loyal to our original spirit and continue providing support to the full extent if a disaster strikes in the future.

Our efforts in the reconstruction projects after the Great East Japan Earthquake
-
On March 11, 2011, a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake, hit a wide area of the Tohoku region, and the subsequent tsunami caused catastrophic damage along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Facing this unprecedented disaster of extreme severity, the government and autonomous bodies requested the Japan Civil Engineering Consultants Association (JCCA) to take action, and as a member of JCCA we participated in the activity.
Our Tohoku Branch Manager acted as the Executive Secretary of the association, and our staff from the head office and branch offices worked tirelessly for the reconstruction work from the initial response, under the coordination of the local headquarters for disaster control. The first phase of the investigation of damage was finished in 2012, and since then we have been participating in the reconstruction work of roads, bridges and ports.
