Initiatives to promote safe and secure urban development driven by local government
See below for a disaster prevention initiative undertaken by Yoshida-cho
The main plant of AGC Techno Glass is located close to the river mouth of Oi River, which flows through the center of Shizuoka Prefecture. Haibara-gun, Yoshida-cho,
where our main plant is located, is promoting “urban development to protect against tsunami” and is in the process of constructing a seawall (the section in the Kawashiriarea, where we are located is scheduled to be completed in FY2020) 11.5 m high along the Suruga Bay coastline as part of the Sea Garden project* as a “measure to protect the property of the local residents and corporate manufacturing activities”.
It is believed that by preventing the overflow of an 8.6 m high tsunami resulting from a large earthquake in the Nankai Trough, it is possible to not only save lives, but also to protect the property of local residents and corporate manufacturing activities.
