Received an order for expansion work for Kurume City's Sasayama Drainage Pump Station (Fukuoka Prefecture)

EBARA Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "EBARA") has received an order from Kurume City for construction work to expand pump equipment at the Sasayama Drainage Pump Station (hereinafter referred to as "this station").

Kurume City, where this facility is located, is the third largest city in Fukuoka Prefecture. This area has been undergoing urbanization for about 40 years, and is now surrounded by railways, major roads, companies, universities and many other facilities. In recent years, the risk of flooding in the region has increased due to the increasing frequency of heavy rains, making the role of this plant, which drains rainwater into the Chikugo River, a first-class river, all the more important.

The purpose of this order is to increase the drainage capacity of this plant by approximately 1.2 times by installing additional large drainage pumps.

EBARA has a track record of delivering the top pumps in Japan at stormwater drainage stations, and is currently carrying out many projects such as renewal and remodeling as well as new construction.

EBARA's long-term vision, "E-Vision 2030," aims to support "an earth-friendly society, safe and secure social infrastructure, and a world without water or food shortages," and to "contribute to the creation of a sustainable society."

By addressing key ESG issues based on its long-term vision and medium-term management plan, the EBARA Group aims to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and further improve its corporate value.
