A pioneering company in geological engineering, OYO was founded in 1954 during Japan's rapid and robust post-war reconstruction. Starting from the debris of the war, it developed technical services that were previously untapped.
"We were the first to adopt a quantitative assessment of geotechnical investigation, which distinguished us from our peers," says Masaru Narita, president and CEO.
"We set industry standards by inventing measuring devices to support our exploration activities."
With safety, security and economic viability as its topmost priorities, OYO is involved in almost all major infrastructure projects in Japan. It determined the optimum depth of the Tokyo Tower base and undertook geotechnical investigation and analysis for the construction of Kansai International Airport.
Growing its top line for four consecutive years, its net sales last year climbed 15.55 per cent to 47.03 billion yen (HK$3.6 billion), from 40.70 billion yen in 2012.
