Chuo Fukken Consultants Co., Ltd. was founded in 1946 as a predecessor to the Incorporated Association, and has contributed to the development of social infrastructure in response to the needs of society from time to time, such as war damage reconstruction and rapid economic growth. Today, we participate in a wide variety of projects in Japan and abroad as a general consultant with top-level engineers in the fields of planning, design, and maintenance of railways, roads, and ports; land and transportation planning and regional development; geotechnical investigation and analysis; and environmental impact assessment.
In recent years, there have been many issues that must be addressed, such as the response to intensifying natural disasters and aging infrastructure. The environment surrounding infrastructure is changing dramatically, including global issues such as carbon neutrality and nature positive, the SDGs' " No one will be left behind" philosophy, and changes in people's values in the post-urban era. New technologies such as ICT and AI are increasingly being utilized in the infrastructure and transportation fields.
It is precisely because we live in such an era that we value "Project intensive" and "the ability to master the essence". It is important for us to be involved in projects from the conceptual stage and contribute to their realization through research, planning, and design, and to work continuously and actively on infrastructure facility operation and regional development. With this intentionality, we not only meet the needs at each stage of a project, but also understand the project philosophy and changes of the times, leading to "Value creation that captures the essence" behind individual needs.
Through these efforts, the roles of civil engineering consultant naturally diversify. For example, we can be an agent for clients, a coordinator for projects, or a player in regional development. As a pioneer in the industry, we will actively challenge ourselves to take on new roles. For those of us involved in civil engineering, we believe that the true clients are the citizens who use the infrastructure, the nature that does not speak, and the children of the future. With this in mind, we will continue to take on challenges as a group of engineers who actively create value.
