The Range of the Nippon Koei Group's Services
For example, if the project goal is to solve the problem of chronic traffic congestion, we begin by conducting surveys and studies from a fundamental perspective on the economic feasibility of infrastructure building/amendment and other aspects to determine whether the best approach is to expand roads or to build new railways. In planning and design, we place emphasis on not only the intentions of the client, but also the needs of the region and local residents. Based on geotechnical and geological investigations, we then propose the optimal method and craft a design that takes the budget, environment and various other factors into account. As projects have become more sophisticated and complex to meet current needs, we also provide consulting for collaboration among governments, private businesses and citizens on issues such as engineering management in public-private partnerships (PPP) and asset management. In addition, we provide management services at the construction stage for projects outside Japan.
