2024.12.18
Sapporo Development and Construction Department of the Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau placed an order for the fabrication and installation of Oji Pumping Station equipment [Orders Received in July 2024]
This work is part of the Chitose River’s incidental river works based on the river plan, and will renovate the existing Oji Pumping Station, which is an obstacle to levee maintenance in the Ebetsu urban area.
The Chitose River has a trunk river channel extension of 108 km, and is one of the most famous salmon rivers in Japan. The Chitose River passes through the Chitose urban area, flows through vast farmlands, and joins the Ishikari River in the Ebetsu urban area. Its watershed is home to around 370,000 people. In addition to primary industries such as rice paddies and field crops, secondary industries such as food manufacturing including beer and dairy products are thriving in this area. Recently, the area has been rapidly developing with the expansion of the airport industrial park centering on the New Chitose Airport and the entry of the semiconductor industry.
The Chitose River is characterized by a vast low-lying area in the lower middle section of the river, which is easily affected by the water level of the Ishikari River, the main river, for long periods during flooding. This makes it prone to internal flooding, and in August 1981, the river recorded its highest postwar water level, resulting in an unprecedented flood. Based on this history, levee maintenance is currently underway to ensure that river water can safely flow below the planned water level. The ordered reconstruction work was required for the Oji Pumping Sluice, Oji Irrigation Sluice, and Oji Pumping Station (managed by the Ebetsu Mill of Oji F-Tex Co., Ltd.), due to the river construction.
The bidding for this work used the comprehensive evaluation bidding system, and we received high marks for our proposals that considered quality assurance during installation and safety measures for installation work in narrow areas, leading to our winning the contract. Design and fabrication of pumps, electrical equipment, etc., and planning of construction work are in full swing, with the aim of completing construction in September 2026.
