The "Utsunomiya LRT Project," in which Vertex Co., Ltd. was involved, is scheduled to be broadcast on NHK General's "New Project X" on November 14th.

Our company has a wealth of experience in manufacturing LRT track sub-slabs in various locations, including Fukui, Toyama, and Kyoto prefectures.

In the Utsunomiya LRT project, we participated in the "Tochigi Prefecture New Technology Industry Association Branch Utsunomiya LRT Research Group" together with companies in Tochigi Prefecture, and worked on technical studies and experiments regarding the half-precast track slab that supports the track. During this process, we received guidance on structural studies and experimental methods from Professor Emeritus Nishizawa of Ishikawa National College of Technology.

Half-precast track slabs are a construction method that combines factory-made concrete products with cast-in-place concrete, ensuring quality, shortening construction time, and allowing local companies to manufacture and construct the structures.

Please take a look at the Utsunomiya LRT Project's efforts to support local transportation.

* LRT (Light Rail Transit): A next-generation tram system that utilizes low-floor vehicles and other technologies to improve ease of boarding and alighting and overall convenience.
