Feature｜The Kanamoto Way -2
We will devote our efforts continuously to support activities, while working to strengthen our "response capabilities."
Nearly two years have passed since Japan's unprecedented catastrophe. In the regions struck by the disaster, debris removal is continuing, as is decontamination work involving radioactive materials resulting from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Restoration work on social infrastructure such as sewers, roads and ports is progressing steadily as well.
To fulfill our mission, the Kanamoto Group as well is working to strengthen and expand its "response capabilities," and devoting its efforts to restoration works in various locations.
Carrying out "debris removal" around-the-clock
In the disaster-stricken areas still struggling with massive amounts of debris, removal and processing operations are continuing in each locale.
The Ministry of the Environment has set a goal of completing cleanup operations by March 2014, and Kanamoto is maintaining its efforts to intensively supply construction equipment and machinery parts in a manner that will enable debris removal operations to be completed as quickly as possible. What's more, we have taken steps to strengthen our organization and devote our total capabilities to full-fledged restoration works.

Along with debris removal, decontamination has become an urgent issue. In the Decontamination Roadmap (Work Schedule) released by the Ministry of the Environment, the government specified new evacuation designation zones in Fukushima Prefecture in conformity with actual radiation levels, and set a goal of completing the decontamination of zones with an annual radiation level of 50 millisieverts or less by March 2014. Kanamoto has formed a support team to respond to the nuclear accident, and is working ardently to lend the equipment needed for decontamination.【Photo】Kanamoto hydraulic excavator and truck used for decontam-ination work in Iitate Village, Fukushima Prefecture.

"Restoration works" are progressing steadily
With some restoration works for social infrastructure such as sewers, roads and ports already underway, demand is increasing daily. The Kanamoto Group is endeavoring to fulfill its role in supporting this restoration through the efforts of every company in the group, even in specialized areas such as foundation and ground improvement.
