Shizuoka Prefecture has developed the "Shizuoka Prefecture Construction Soil Matching System (SSM)" to promote the utilization of construction soil, and will operate it from the 17th. A system unique to the prefecture that matches “sites where earth and sand are present” and “sites where earth and sand is desired”, including not only public works but also private works. It is possible to easily register and search with a smartphone, and the list is displayed in order of proximity from the target site. Communication and coordination with the other party can also be performed. Free to use. Government agencies and construction-related organizations in the prefecture, including the national and municipal governments, were informed on the 13th. The prefectural government expects the project to reduce costs and prevent illegal embankment.
Construction soil generated from public works is being utilized between construction works, but there are cases where information is not exchanged sufficiently and it is not being used effectively. As a tool for information exchange, there is a national construction soil information exchange system, but a usage fee is required. The prefectural government has a bulletin board system for surplus soil information, but this only applies to works ordered by the prefectural government. Information sharing including municipalities and private construction is not sufficient. There were also issues such as the time and effort involved in registering and searching, and the fact that users were limited in the system under a personal computer environment.
The SSM developed by the prefecture can be used by anyone, whether public or private. It supports a wide range of devices that use the Internet, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. You can check "sites where earth and sand are generated" and "sites that wish to receive earth and sand" on the map. There is no usage fee as the prefecture bears the management and operation costs. The prefectural government expects benefits such as reduced construction costs, creation of a recycling-oriented society, reduced environmental impact, and countermeasures against illegal embankments.
About 70% to 80% of prefecturally ordered construction projects are using construction soil. Effective utilization will be achieved.
