Construction Method

GRIN Base™ is constructed using our unique Press-in Method technology.

The simple construction process using the Press-in Method enables rapid construction in two months per unit. The construction work is carried out with compact, systemised machinery, which saves space, minimises traffic restrictions and impact on the surrounding area, and enables economical construction. In addition, the construction of the structure does not generate construction pollution such as vibration and noise, and can be carried out in densely populated areas while maintaining the daily environment.

The Silent Piler, a virtually noise- and vibration-free hydraulic press-in machine

Press-in Method realises high-precision, environmentally friendly construction


Construction Sequence

Functional Structure™ for easy relocation and reuse

"The right function for the right time."
GRIN Base™ is designed to be "Functional Structure". Taking into consideration the fact that bicycle parks may become unnecessary, it allows simple deconstruction and removal, leaving the environment in its original state. The materials removed can also be reused, contributing greatly to a sustainable society.

Frame structure

The GRIN Base™ structure, precisely constructed using hat sheet piles, is durable enough to withstand earthquakes of seismic intensity 6-high on Japan’s seismic scale of zero to 7. In addition to being highly water-resistant, it is designed to maintain stable structural performance over the long term.

Outer shell material

Hat sheet piles "NS-SP-J" used in the outer shell of GRIN Base EC is a material certified by the Ministry in accordance with the Building Standards Law as a major structural member.

Obtained General Ratings (structural method / structural design method)

The ECO Cycle design and construction method has a 'General Rating' from The Building Center of Japan [BCJ].

*”ECO Cycle” is a registered trademark of GIKEN LTD. in Japan.

Rating Acquired: January 14, 2011
Assessment Number: BCJ-LS0052-01
Assessment Basis: Design and construction of a cylindrical underground structure in which steel hat piles are driven to form an outer wall, the inner circumference to which H beam intermittently fixed.
