Thorough BCP Measures

In addition to the adoption of a vibration control structure with hydraulic dampers to reduce swaying during earthquakes, an emergency power generator was installed in the building, and natural ventilation systems were installed in the offices. This emergency power generator is one of the most advanced in the Kansai region, capable of operating for 72 hours to supply a constant level of power to rental offices, disaster management equipment, lighting, lavatories, and other major equipment in the event of a blackout. The natural ventilation system allows fresh air to be brought into the building even if the air conditioning loses power.

In preparation for the anticipated Nankai Trough Earthquake, which is predicted to occur with a high degree of probability, ground-floor tide barriers were installed along with electrical substation equipment, heating equipment, and an emergency power generator on the third aboveground floor. An emergency drainage tank was also installed to allow the use of lavatories even in the event of a disruption in water and sewage services.

Not only is the new Shin-Daibiru Building resistant to disasters, but it is also a trailblazer in its commitment to providing as much support as possible for disaster recovery.
