スポーツベット 得する人 Environmental Island, GREEN FLOAT
スポーツベット 得する人 Botanical Future City Concept of a Plant-like City.
We live in economically developed cities, and this development has made our lives much more convenient.When we think about what truly makes us happy, though, it would be good to have a way to measure happiness apart from having an abundance of material goods.Being in touch with nature. Time to relax and enjoy culture. A healthy and comfortable lifestyle.Living gently and blending in with nature and growing along with it as part of スポーツベット 得する人 ecosystem.Couldn’t we, for example, create a city that functions like a single “plant?”We created our new environmental city model from that concept.

Going beyond CO2 Reduction to CO2negative
A city that absorbs CO2 like a plant. That is our goal and we will employ environmental technology to achieve CO2negative.
❶ Creating compact cities and converting industrial structure(approx.40% reduction in CO2)
Creating compact cities will make transportation and distribution more efficient, thereby reducing CO2.
❷ Achieving energy efficiency (approx.30% reduction in CO2)
At 1,000 meters above ground right on スポーツベット 得する人 equator, スポーツベット 得する人 temperature remains around a pleasant 26°C year-round. We will also incorporate スポーツベット 得する人 latest technologies in スポーツベット 得する人 future to move away from fossil fuels and improve スポーツベット 得する人 efficiency of heat insulation and equipment.
❸ Using natural energy sources for power generation (approx. 30% reduction in CO2)
We will make maximal use of different types of power generation, including solar power generation in space, power generation using ocean temperature differentials, wave-powered power generation, wind power generation, and terrestrial solar power generation.
❹ CO2 recovery absorption and ocean sequestration (approx. 30% reduction in CO2)
Compared to forests, スポーツベット 得する人 CO2 absorption capacity of スポーツベット 得する人 ocean is said to have incalculable surplus capacity. Large-scale CO2 reduction and ocean sequestration can be anticipated after a global accord is reached.
A plant-like city is a “city full of life” in which people and living things co-exist in well-balanced harmony.
Land-based Forest – Biodiversity in rural areas –
Having a mixture of forests, fields, waterways, reservoirs, grasslands, and other types of natural areas creates habitats in which a diverse range of living things live and grow.We will also place importance on contact between people and nature, by preparing places to have agricultural experiences, etc. as スポーツベット 得する人 intersection point between an urban setting and nature.
Ocean Forest – Biodiversity in coastal areas –
In スポーツベット 得する人 peripheral coastal area, we will build a man-made shallow shoal while taking care to maintain harmony with スポーツベット 得する人 natural eco system.We have also focused on スポーツベット 得する人 connection with human activities such as shellfish and seaweed harvesting, while working to improve water quality and ensure ample biodiversity in スポーツベット 得する人 shallows.
Recycling-based Society of スポーツベット 得する人 Future Learned from スポーツベット 得する人 Edo Period (1600s-1800s)
With スポーツベット 得する人 gifts of スポーツベット 得する人 sun and ocean, it is possible to achieve 100% self-sufficiency in food by nurturing スポーツベット 得する人 seafood, meat and crops, while simultaneously creating a city capable of recycling resources by converting waste into energy and other recycling methods.Our goal is to create スポーツベット 得する人 urban model for a new environmental age that can be self-reliant, without imposing a burden on スポーツベット 得する人 environment.(In スポーツベット 得する人 Edo period, waste from normal activities was used to cultivate food, and paper scraps and waste materials were reused.)
❶ Cultivating food using waste from normal activities and CO2
[Plant Factory]

❷ Paper waste and other waste materials can be converted into energy
[Recycling Plant]
Ensuring Basic Safety of Floating Offshore Structures
For natural disasters or urban disasters, we will respond from スポーツベット 得する人 perspective of comprehensive urban disasters prevention and business continuity planning (BCP).We will also introduce スポーツベット 得する人 active disaster prevention function of advanced prediction and control, based on data from meteorological observation and data from wind and wave sensors.
Magnesium Alloy, Structural Material Refined from Ocean Water
We will use ocean water as スポーツベット 得する人 raw material to refine magnesium alloy for use as a structural material. In addition to being in ore, magnesium is also a component of sea water, so there will be no concerns about depletion if it can be refined. It is also possible to remelt and recycle it, so it is attracting attention as an environmentally friendly material, compared to FRP and other light structural materials.
Building Offshore Artificial Ground (Bonded Honeycomb Structure)
Honeycomb describes スポーツベット 得する人 structure of a bee’s nest, which consists of a group of hexagonal cells.It is a structure that is widely used in スポーツベット 得する人 advanced aerospace sector in addition to construction. Ninety percent or more of スポーツベット 得する人 honeycomb structure consists of open space and it possesses スポーツベット 得する人 properties of being both strong and light. Offshore artificial ground is constructed by binding honeycomb structures together.
STEP 1
ndividual honeycombs are produced on special wave-resistant barges equipped with concrete plants.Approximately 20m wide, 50m tall and weighing from 5,000 to 7,000 tons, they are turned on end and set afloat by equipment at スポーツベット 得する人 edges of スポーツベット 得する人 barges.
STEP 2
Water is injected into スポーツベット 得する人 honeycomb units, to achieve a balanced position. Units are bonded into square groups with other honeycombs with rubber gaskets on bonding surfaces, using water pressure to join them together by forcing スポーツベット 得する人 interstitial water out. In addition, high-strength concrete and studs are used as secondary bonding to achieve close coupling.
STEP 3
Once スポーツベット 得する人 50m high floating substructure is coupled and expanded to create an artificial ground structure, construction work on スポーツベット 得する人 ground will begin.
Offshore Ultra-High-Rise Construction (“Smart”System Float-Over Dock)
スポーツベット 得する人 “Smart”System Float-Over Dock is a special method used for building ultra-high-rise towers offshore.スポーツベット 得する人 building is not built upward off スポーツベット 得する人 ocean. スポーツベット 得する人 frame of スポーツベット 得する人 structure built at ground level, and スポーツベット 得する人 assembled structure is temporarily submerged in スポーツベット 得する人 ocean. When スポーツベット 得する人 frame assembly has been completed, スポーツベット 得する人 buoyancy of スポーツベット 得する人 ocean is used to lift it up in one motion.This method enables construction work to always proceed at ground level without people or materials being raised, so it enables safe and efficient construction.
[Previous Construction Method]
Built to heights ranging from a few hundred to a thousand meters, this method requires transporting a large number of people and materials.
[New Construction Method]
Construction is always performed at ground level, so it minimizes スポーツベット 得する人 movement of people and materials.
❶ Construction begins at ground level.(スポーツベット 得する人 entire main structure is subsequently constructed at ground level.)
❷ スポーツベット 得する人 structure built at ground level is lifted down into スポーツベット 得する人 ocean from スポーツベット 得する人 central section of スポーツベット 得する人 mega float.
❸ Erection of スポーツベット 得する人 main structure is completed. スポーツベット 得する人 crane above ground is dis-assembled.
❹ Jack-up 1スポーツベット 得する人 structure is raised with temporary floats installed on スポーツベット 得する人 underside of スポーツベット 得する人 mega float and a tension cable.
❺ Jack-up 2After スポーツベット 得する人 beams tying スポーツベット 得する人 upper section are removed, スポーツベット 得する人 section above スポーツベット 得する人 central joints is opened up with スポーツベット 得する人 cable.
❻ スポーツベット 得する人 pillars of スポーツベット 得する人 curved portion are extended out to スポーツベット 得する人 final position. スポーツベット 得する人 temporary scaffolding, permanent frame, and utility equipment for water, electricity, and air conditioning is lifted into place. Support beams for スポーツベット 得する人 circumference are then erected.
