Toshiba Wins Contract to Supply Pumping Equipment for Otanigawa Rainwater Pumping Station


EBARA Corporation (hereinafter referred to as EBARA) has been awarded the contract for pump equipment expansion work at the Otanigawa Storm Water Pumping Station, which is ordered by the Japan Sewerage Works Corporation.

1. Background

The Otani River Rainwater Pumping Station, located in the center of Saitama Prefecture, has played a role in protecting the region from flooding due to heavy rain for about 13 years since 2008. In this region, where multiple rivers flow against the increasing number of typhoons and heavy rains in recent years, it is expected to increase the drainage capacity of the pumping stations and reduce stormwater damage. EBARA solves a wide range of water supply and sewerage problems through comprehensive engineering, including proposals, designs, procurement, mechanical equipment construction, and after-sales service for pumping equipment that transports water for each purpose.

 

2. Overview

This expansion of the pump facility will double the drainage capacity of the Otanigawa rainwater pumping station.
