The Good CityUrban areas are the heart of economic and social growth, and infrastructure development plays a vital role in shaping these areas. The development and maintenance of infrastructure are essential for the growth of urban areas and the well-being of its residents.
Using civil engineering, architecture, and other specialised technologies, Nippon Koei and BDP can provide infrastructure services to governments and private companies for a broad range of national, regional, and urban development projects.
How we can help
Transport
Transport in its many forms plays an important role in moving people, goods and services which contribute to a city’s economy growth. We provide a wide range of services, including planning, investigation, and design of roads, bridges, airports, and other infrastructure that support our daily lives, as well as services to improve operational efficiency.
Rail
Mass rapid transit (MRT) can be the solution to developing countries that face growing populations with severe traffic congestion and pollution in their cities. Our rail and MRT expertise have delivered projects across the world for operators from research and planning through to design and construction.
Watershed and water management
We have extensive experience in flood protection, improving water use efficiency and the water environment, providing technology for the construction of new and existing dams. We also provide technical services related to agricultural and rural development and water supply and sewage facilities.
Power generation
A stable energy supply will contribute to low-carbon future for cities. Our company Nippon Koei Energy solutions carries out surveys, planning and construction management for new and refurbished substations, power stations and switchyards, including the design and construction management of hydroelectric power stations.
Geohazard management
Our slope prevention, erosion control and disaster prevention technical services aim to protect society from various disasters such as large-scale earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and torrential rains, in order to realise land conservation and people’s safety and security.
The recent spate of extreme downpours and large-scale earthquakes in Japan, has placed us at the forefront of emergency measures against these disasters, as well as permanent measures with regional development in mind.
