Rock & Soil Mechanics, and Chemical Laboratory

In this laboratory, rock and soil samples undergo various mechanical tests, and the chemical properties of construction materials are also tested.
Biotechnology research and development projects are also conducted at this facility.

  1. Large-Cyclic Triaxial Test Apparatus
  2. Triaxial Compression Testing Machine (High Stiffness and High-Pressure Type for Hard Rock Testing)
  3. Cyclic Triaxial Test Apparatus for Soft Rock
  4. Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPPA)
  5. Biotechnology and Water Treatment Test Room

Large-Cycle Triaxial Test Apparatus

Specimens of 300mm x h600mm are used in this machine, which makes triaxial tests of gravel, and liquefaction testing possible.
Size of specimens---300mm x 600(H)mm and 200mm x 400(H)mm
Maximum axial load---50tf
Maximum confined pressure---10kgf/cm2

Triaxial compression testing machine

(high stiffness and high pressure-type for hard rock testing)
In order to increase the utilization of deep underground construction technology, the measurements of a wide variety of rock mechanical properties are obtained. The facility’s advanced equipment and control systems make it possible to conduct tests under simulated, "in-situation" conditions.
Size of specimens---50mm x 100(H)mm and 100mm x 200(H)mm
Maximum axial load---300tf
Maximum confined pressure---1000kgf/cm2
Maximum pore pressure---1000kgf/cm2

Chemical Laboratory

In the search for highly advanced performance and durable structural materials, concrete and plastics are investigated by various methods including chemical analysis, deterioration analysis, reparably planning and new product development technologies. The Laboratory is equipped with high technology equipment such as the electron probe mincroanalyzer (EPMA) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the large-scale autoclave.

Biotechnology and Water Treatment Test Room

Hazama is conducting research in marine biotechnology and plant cultivation, utilizing such equipment as the photosynthesis fermentor, in order to apply advanced biotechnology to the field of construction. The Company has also developed water treatment technology in concert with its comprehensive urban infrastructure development capabilities.
