Active infrastructure consulting overseas<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The business of EJEC as a \u201cconstruction consultancy firm\u201d is not restricted to Japan as it has actively expanded overseas. Against the emergence of new problems relating to the environment and population which demand global solutions, EJEC primarily focuses on African and Asian countries where economic growth and infrastructure investment are expected to take place. Using such fields as roads, transport, water supply, waste and renewable energies in which EJEC has been frequently active abroad as core business fields, EJEC plans to expand its business into such new fields as disaster prevention (against earthquakes and flooding), urban planning, etc. where the demand is expected to increase in the coming years.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Throughout the world, particularly in developing countries, there is an urgent need to deal with such issues as an increasing energy demand and environmental protection, the significancy of which is expected to grow in the coming years, against the background of conspicuous population explosion and economic growth. EJEC is contributing to the development of these countries utilizing its waste collection and treatment system and know-how of technologies to turn waste into energy, both of which EJEC has accumulated through its consultancy services for environmental infrastructure in Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t
