[Article] Saving the Area Affected by Typhoon No. 15! The Chairman's Decisive Action to 'Remove Free of Charge' Collapsed Steel Pillars at Ichihara City Golf Driving Range https://this.kiji.is/6179816073136712... Six months have passed since Typhoon No. 15. In Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, steel pillars at a golf driving range collapsed, leaving significant damage to surrounding homes. A demolition company came to the rescue during that dire situation. What was the "Chairman's Decisive Action" to offer free removal? In September 2019, 13 steel pillars collapsed at the Ichihara Golf Garden driving range in Ichihara City due to strong winds from Typhoon No. 15. The pillars fell onto approximately 20 surrounding houses, causing significant damage. The steel pillars remained toppled at the site for approximately one month, and full-scale construction work only began on October 28, 2019, about a month and a half after the disaster. The company that undertook the removal, and moreover, performed the work "free of charge" as a form of disaster relief, was Fujimura Co., Ltd., a demolition company in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo. Chairman Kazuhito Fujimura was reportedly speechless upon seeing the devastation at the practice field through the media, but decided that "our company's technology can help." The day after the disaster, he offered to remove the steel pillars free of charge to the Ichihara City Hall. The removal of the collapsed steel pillars began in October 2019 and was completed in approximately two weeks. The practice field then decided to clear the land, seek buyers, and use the proceeds from the sale to compensate the residents. Afterward, Fujimura began construction work to clear the land at the practice field. The demolition work to clear the site is expected to take until the end of April 2020, and Chairman Fujimura hopes that both the training ground and the residents will be able to move forward with rebuilding their lives. The confidence gained from the disaster site—the belief that "we can help"— Based on this confidence, Fujimura continues the demolition work at the site today.
