Ebara Receives Award for Recognition of Excellent Construction in Development Project

1. Background and Objectives
The Pump Station is located on a plateau at 900-meter elevation, in Kami-Ina County, Nagano Prefecture, which is also known for having a large number of paddy fields, vegetable gardens and orchards. The Pump Station is required to stably supply water to the farmland at a high altitude. Meanwhile, it also contributes to fire prevention, recharge of groundwater, and conservation of ecosystems.

The main agricultural-water facilities in this area were developed by the government around 1975. In recent years, the performance had declined and maintenance and management costs had increased as the facilities became older. Consequently, the state-owned facilities function maintenance project was launched in 2012 in order to maintain agricultural production and stable agricultural management in the future.

EBARA solves issues on water infrastructure, such as water supply, sewerage, and irrigation, by offering comprehensive engineering services, including proposal, design and procurement of pumps and other facilities, installation, construction, and after-sales service.
