Hydraulic Laboratory

This laboratory is used to establish up-to-date design and construction technologies for ocean and coastal structures which are becoming larger and more sophisticated. Kajima's reserarchers make intensive use of the laboratory with the intention of developing new construnction technologies and creating newly ocean space.

Major Exprimental Facilities

  • Large wave basin
  • Large-size wave channel
  • Middle-size wave channel
  • Dam & river experrimental facility
