Awards for Railway Construction Technology
Bridge
Sannai-Maruyama Extradosed Bridge on the Tohoku Shinkansen
The 150-m spans are the longest among any Shinkansen bridges, and the ingenious design controls the deflection that often accompanies longer spans, thus provides safer and, more comfortable riding of Shinkansen trains.
(The technology was awarded from the Japan Prestressed Concrete Institute in 2005.)
Haipesawa Bridge (GRS-integrated bridge) on the Sanriku Railway Kita-Rias Line
This bridge consists of rigidly connected beams and abutments without bearings, thus can stand firmly against tsunami waves. Both abutments are so-called 'GRS-integrated abutment' constructed as a soil structure reinforced by synthetic materials.
(The technology awarded from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers and the Japanese Geotechnical Society in 2014.)
Tunnel Excavation Technology
SENS
(Site-cast Concrete Lining System with TBM (Tunnel Boring Method))
2008 Japan Society of Civil Engineers and the Japan Industrial Technology Award
Architecture
Shin-Tosu Station, Kyushu Shinkansen
2011 Brunel Award
2011 Station Structure Award, Association of Railway Architects
Minatomirai Station, Minatomirai line
2005 Brunel Award
2008 Public Building Award
Electrical Equipment
Development and practical application of PWM converter Railway electrical engineering award of the Japan Railway Electrical Engineering Association
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) converter introduced to Tsukuba Express, which transmits constant amount of voltage from substation, is the first system enable to supply power stably in the world, regardless of the number of running trains.
