1. Background
Takahashi Pumping Station is a large facility with a drainage capacity of approximately 50 tons per second, but it suffered flooding caused by river flooding due to the heavy rains that occurred in 2019 and 2021. As a result, work to modify the pump equipment to increase drainage capacity was carried out as part of the "Rokkaku River System Emergency Flood Control Measures Project" by the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
2. Overview
Since February 2021, the three pump equipment has been remodeled one per year, and the renovation of all pump equipment has been completed with this project. The total discharge capacity of the pumping station has increased from 50 tons per second to 61 tons per second, making it the largest in Kyushu. This award was given in recognition of the excellent construction quality achieved.
