The transport infrastructure webwork across Japan is a vital piece of social infrastructure for citizens' lives and economic activities. Given it has been in use for over 50 years at this time, hurried repairs and upgrades are also underway.
For over half a century, we have been assembling, repairing, and upgrading bridges, as well as transporting Shinkansen carriages the whole time. Utilizing our many years of technical experience, we will continue to support Japan's transportation infrastructure in the future.
Properties
1. Transporting Shinkansen carriages since the bullet train's early days
Ever since the inception of the Shinkansen, we have been transporting Shinkansen carriages. We use conventional roads for transporting from the port to your site, but it takes advanced transportion techniques and careful planning to handle tight spaces and intersections. Accordingly, we coordinate with rail carriage manufacturers and railway companies on their depots in order to provide you with consistent end-to-end services.
2. Offering optimized methods for a wide range of bridge construction
Bridge work can vary from new construction to repairs and upgrades, and even the same procedure can vary in method depending on the situation at a work site. We find the ideal means of working on each individual bridge, then develop and prepare the specialized tools and equipment required before we start work. Our technicians are involved starting from the surveying and planning stages, helping to make sure customer construction goes as intended.
