The Kyusyushinkansen Isahaya Tunnel is a 230m-long tunnel for Shinkansen high speed rail with the width of double track and excavated 3.5m below National Road Route-207. Route-207 has daily passage of 25,000 vehicles and contains many buried utilities such as water and sewage, electric power, communication, and gas. In such a shallow overburden, open cut method has been generally applied. But considering the difficulties of replacement of utilities and less disturbance on the road traffic, the mountain tunneling method was applied in this case. In this construction, a jointless pipe roof “Backfill Wrap Construction Method” was devised to tackle the soft geology with hard boulders as auxiliary support in the mountain tunneling system. This method will increase available options for more effective auxiliary support in mountain tunneling and thus contribute to the development of high-quality infrastructure.

The rotary snow blower operated for removing accumulated snow on road shoulders must be performed properly even in the conditions such as a poor visibility due to a snowstorm for a winter highway safety. The operators of the blower, however, have to pay full attention to avoid contacting road structures and colliding with passing vehicles. Therefore, a high-precision snow blower positioning device using a quasi-zenith satellite and a high-precision expressway map has been developed for the first time in Japan. The device enables even unskilled drivers to control the snow blower safely and leads to cope with a future shortage of skilled drivers. Moreover, the device is now being adopted to challenge an autonomous snow blower development.

The Akita Shinkansen connect Tokyo with Akita in northern Japan, with direct service between two sections. The conventional line section (maximum speed 130km/h) is in heavy snowfall area, so snow adhere under the bogies of a train in winter. When a train was running in the Shinkansen section (maximum speed 320km/h), a problem happened that dropped snow-ice damaged the railway equipment. We tried to remove the snow-ice by human power, while a train stopping at a station, but it was difficult to remove it completely. To solve this problem, we developed the system which melts snow-ice by spraying hot water, and installed in Ogama station, located in end of heavy snowfall area. This made it possible to remove the snow-ice almost completely in a short time. This is the first system in Japan, which was developed in collaboration with several technical fields, track, machinery, electricity, and civil engineering.

The Takao River winds through densely housed areas that are regularly flooded by it during heavy rains, requiring urgent measures. However, conventional flood improvement methods require land acquisition which takes a long time. Therefore, an unprecedented method was used: the construction of a diversion tunnel under and along the river, using shield tunneling (Di=5m, L=1km). Despite the many difficulties, such as driving through hard weathered granite and driving 27 sharp continuous turns, the project was completed in a short period of only 5 years. This achievement can be a model for flood control in urban areas where it is difficult to secure land.
