京都土木株式会社

Kyoto Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. conducted the 'Suchi Residential Land Development Project' from February 2020 to March 2021 and the 'Sonobe Site Development and Other Works' from November 2020 to March 2024. In these projects, the company failed to assign dedicated chief engineers to the sites, instead assigning engineers who were primarily stationed at the office to perform site duties. Additionally, during the 'Nakajima Joint Cemetery (Demolition) Restoration and Other Works' from June 2020 to June 2021, and the 'Sonobe Auto Yard Development Project' from April 2022 to March 2023, the company assigned supervising engineers not dedicated to the respective sites but instead from other concurrent public works projects. These actions violate Article 26, Paragraph 3 of the Construction Business Act and are subject to an instruction under Article 28, Paragraph 1 of the same law. The instruction requires the company to promptly implement measures such as informing staff of the violations and planning ongoing training to ensure compliance, and to report these measures in writing immediately.

Kyoto Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. submitted an application for a management review on March 31, 2022, with inflated project costs for joint venture projects involving the Tsuchi Bridge Main Line Public Sewer Construction and the Integrated Development Project for the Kyoto City Regional Rehabilitation Promotion Center and two other facilities, excluding building works. Based on this application, the company obtained result notification letters and applied for bidding qualification for multiple public works projects. This conduct falls under Article 28, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Construction Business Act, and according to Paragraph 3 of the same article, it is subject to a business suspension order. The suspension period is from March 12, 2024, to April 25, 2024, totaling 45 days.

Kyoto Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. submitted a management review application on March 31, 2021, with false entries in the technical staff roster, including personnel not actually employed full-time and not meeting qualification requirements (such as practical experience). Based on this application, the company obtained a result notification and applied for bidding participation qualifications for the 2022 fiscal year with Kyoto Prefecture and Kyoto City. This act falls under Article 28, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Construction Business Act, and is subject to an instruction order issued by Kyoto Prefecture on June 27, 2023. The instruction requires the company to promptly implement measures to prevent recurrence, including informing staff of the incident and related sanctions, and conducting ongoing training on relevant laws and regulations, with a written report of measures taken.
