PACIFIC CONSULTANTS CO., LTD. (Address: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer: Osamu OMOTO) will be sponsoring and exhibiting its services at the "Nikkei Crosstech NEXT Tokyo 2025"Special Exhibition for Disaster Prevention and Resilience, "Understanding through Models! Evolving infrastructure with construction DX!", to be held at Tokyo International Forum Hall E from Thursday, October 16th to Friday, October 17th, 2025.
■Event Overview
Disasters are becoming more severe, infrastructure is aging, and this is threatening the foundations of life and the economy. Promoting disaster prevention measures against earthquakes, heavy rains, and other disasters and building a resilient social infrastructure are urgent social issues. The Special Exhibition for Disaster Prevention and Resilience will use models and construction digital transformation to unravel pressing social issues and clues to their solutions. There are plenty of exhibits to see, touch, and experience in an engaging way.
The venue will host the "Doboku Model Grand Prix 2025," a student contest open to students from universities and technical colleges across the country. Students will compete to see who can communicate the appeals and challenges of civil engineering in an easy-to-understand manner by using their own homemade moving models. The grand prize winner will be determined by live judging of student presentations using moving models. Don't underestimate the mere idea of a model. You're sure to make new discoveries and discover unexpected insights.

Learn about and prepare for disasters: Learning about local safety through models and VR
A model that recreates disaster situations (flooding, landslides, residential damage) is on display. Monitoring technologies such as SAR satellites, fixed-wing UAVs, rotary-wing UAVs, and ground vehicles (MIMM-R) are placed on the model to introduce three-dimensional and continuous information technology. Digital content includes an introduction to river basin flood control using a web application, and a VR head-mounted display that allows visitors to see what a town looks like during a flood and a bird's-eye view from above.
