Construction Method
The ECO Cycle 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.
Press-in Method realises high-precision, environmentally friendly construction
Construction Sequence
①
Install a specially designed piles to form a cylindrical wall using a dedicated press-in machine.
②
Excavate the soil inside the cylinder to create the underground space.
③
Install the ECO Cycle in the cylinder.
④
Finally the entrance booth is fixed above ground.
Functional Structure™ for easy relocation and reuse
"The right function for the right time."
The ECO Cycle 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
When installed using the steel sheet pile pod design the ECO Cycle can withstand earthquake seismic intensities of up to 6 on the Japan Meteorological Scale. As well as providing water resistance this installation method provides long term stability, product durability, and sustained performance.
Outer shell material
"NS-SP-J" hat sheet piles used in the outer shell of ECO Cycle, 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].
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.
