Joint Research and Partnership with Other Organizations
Joint Research
We conduct joint research with research organizations such as private corporations and universities to promote more
efficient and effective research and development. Joint research includes an external research organization participating
in PWRI-proposed research topics, i.e. “PWRI proposed project”, and projects conducted in response to a proposal from an
external organization, i.e. “private proposed project”. During the 3rd period of our medium-term goals, we are scheduled
to conduct approximately 100 joint projects annually in an effort to create high-quality research results.

Alliance with other organizations
PWRI makes Agreements for Civil Engineering Technology Alliance/Cooperation with local governments, universities and
other research institutions, and strives to create better and more ample research results for the purpose of contributing to
the efficient development of high-quality infrastructure under a comprehensive civil engineering technology alliance and
in mutual cooperation.
For example, we made an Alliance/Cooperation Agreement with the Independent Administrative Agency National
Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in 2007 for the purpose of mutual growth and contribution to the
society through research and development. Under the agreement, a “Study on an Integrated Subsurface Structural
Database” was conducted in the geological area by combining geological information with geotechnical engineering
information. Additionally, information was exchanged in the areas of road and robotic technologies. In this way, both
institutes work together and cooperate with each other in a wide variety of research areas.
In 2010, the Center for Advanced Engineering Structural Assessment and Research (CAESAR) made an Alliance/Cooperation
Agreement with the Independent Administrative Agency RIKEN on research into a small neutron imaging system to
combine with elemental technology on neutron radiography, and to inspect and analyze internal structures of bridges and
other structures. Application of the principle of neutron radiography, which offers excellent permeability, is expected to
permit nondestructive verification of the interior condition of bridge members, which is otherwise difficult to check.

Introduction of PWRI-Developed Technologies Utilized at Construction Sites
Received the Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award / Infrastructure Technology Development Award
Invairowan Method (Environment-friendly technique for on-site removal of coating film from steel
structures)
(Advanced Materials Research Team)
In order to prolong the lifespan of steel structures, it is necessary to
peel of conventional coating materials and switch to longer lasting
heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating materials. In joint research with
a private sector company, PWRI has developed a new removal
method that can safely and efficiently remove and collect the old
coating film softened in the form of sheet without scattering
coating dust in the surrounding area; it is much better than
conventional mechanical methods such as blasting, disk sanding,

Site application
water jetting, etc. This method received the 8th Infrastructure
Technology Development Award (MLIT Minister’s Award) in 2006 and the 2nd Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award (Prime Minister’s Award)
in 2007. So far, it has been applied to a total of 285 bridges and other structures throughout Japan, exceeding 460,000 m2 in total area, by
the national government, local governments, and a government-affiliated corporations.
Gravity thickening technology that uses ‘Water Path Forming Poles’
(Recycling Research Team)
In order to efficiently treat sewage sludge, it is necessary to remove
as much water as possible from the sludge and thicken it. This
technique increases the sedimentation rate of sewage sludge
using 'Water Path Forming Poles' (WPFPs). Specifically, by slowly
rotating a sludge collector fitted with WPFPs vertically in a gravity
thickener, ‘water
paths’ where liquid moves easily form
immediately behind the poles. This draws out the water present
between sludge particles and high density thickened sludge
precipitates to the bottom of the thickener.
This technique received the 7th Infrastructure Technology
Development Award (MLTL Minister’s Award) and the 1st
Water path Forming poles
WPFPs installed at the Engaru Wastewater
Treatment Plant
Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award (Prime Minister’s Award) in 2005. This technique has been introduced at wastewater treatment plants in
13 locations in Japan including Tomakomai, Kumamoto, and Imabari, resulting in higher-density thickened sludge at all of the plants.
PCL construction method using a partially- thinned reinforcing plate
PCL construction method is a technology to reinforce an aged tunnel with inner reinforcing precast
concrete. There was a problem when lining concrete of a tunnel in service is deformed by external
force, etc., the hollow cross section is too small to provide inner reinforcement and the clearance limit
is not secured. Therefore, this team has developed a reinforcing slab with a partially-thinned shoulder

won the 16th Infrastructure Technology Development Award 2014 (podium) for this technology. This
method has been adopted to Naruko Tunnel on Route 47 and Tashiro Tunnel on Niigata prefectural
road.

ALiCC Method (Design method that applies the arch effect for soil improvements using a lower improvement
ratio) (Construction Technology Research Team)
The ALiCC (Arch-action Low improvement ratio Cement
Column) Method is a design method used when carrying
out soil improvements with a low improvement ratio. It
considers the arch effect that occurs within the embankments
in order to rationally calculate the embankment loads that
act upon the cement improvement columns and on the
unimproved soft ground. As a result, by equally arranging
the improvement body directly below an embankment at
the entire area, it is possible to reduce costs and shorten
the construction period, while controlling embankment

settlement and uneven settlement. As a result, by placing
the improvement columns evenly across the entire area directly beneath an embankment, it is possible to reduce costs and shorten the
construction period, while also reducing embankment subsidence and uneven settlement.
This method was awarded the 15th Infrastructure Technology Development Award in 2013. It has been adopted in constructions of Maibara
Bypass and Maruyama River by the Kinki Regional Development Bureau and a road widening construction on Route 57 in Moriyama region
by the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau. As of December 2014, the number of constructions is 104 and the constructed volume is more
than 670,000 m3.

PWRI’s Focused Dissemination Technologies/Techniques (FY2015)
In order to promote dissemination of R&D results efficiently and effectively, PWRI selects effective technologies for application as “focused
dissemination technologies/techniques” each year, and focuses on active dissemination activities. Representative examples are introduced
below.
Fluidized Bed Incineration System with Turbocharger
(Recycling Research Team)
This system improves incineration efficiency by incinerating the composite
Exhaust
gas
of sewage sludge and other biomass at approximately 0.15 MPa, and
Turbocharger
Chimney
allows utilization of compressed air generated by operating a turbocharger
with exhaust gas. It can reduce power consumption by 50%, fuel by 15%
and CO2 by 40%. It can also reduce a great amount of N2O, which has more
of a greenhouse effect than CO2 when the combustion temperature is
adjusted to the high-temperature zone. Based on good results in an
experimental plant located in Oshamanbe, Hokkaido, this system has
been adopted at 7 wastewater treatment plants in Tokyo and other places.

concrete from falling. Because the progress of the cracks can still be seen after the sheet is
installed, it is possible to check the effects of the repair and the need for additional
measures. This technology is an effective means of preventing damage to users caused by
delamination or separation of lining concrete. It has been used for approximately 25,000
m2 of road, railway, subway tunnels and others as of December 2014.

Gas-liquid dissolving apparatus (Technology for improving bottom water quality by supplying water
with supersaturated dissolved oxygen) (Water Quality Research Team)
The release of nutrients and metals from sediments as a result of
oxygen-poor coudition in the bottom layer caused by thermodine
Before
sometimes significantly compromises water quality in closed water
body such as reservoirs. Therefore, PWRI developed a novel gas-liquid
dissolving system: creating pure oxygen gas to supply water with
supersaturated dissolved oxygen to the bottom layer at any depth and
increasing Do in order to improve water quality. Because the technology
After
can supply DO across a broad spectrum without destruction of the
thermodine, unlike conventional aeration systems, water quality can be
restored efficiently and effectively. To date, this technology has been
adopted by the Chugoku, Kanto and Shikoku Regional Development
Bureaus for domestic dams and harbor facilities in Tokyo and other

areas, as well as dams in Jiangsu Province, China.
Installed anchor tensile monitoring system (Aki-Mos)
Gas-liquid dissolving
apparatus (Made of FRP)
(Landslide Research Team)
It is necessary to maintain a certain tensile stress level with ground anchors that are used for
slope stability and to prevent landslides. It is important to know the stress and any changes
to it in order to maintain the anchors properly. But, stress is not measured in many anchors
so it is impossible to evaluate the condition of the anchors and slopes. We therefore
developed continuous monitoring techniques of load for installed anchors, which was
extremely difficult to set load gauges before. These techniques allow a continual series of
measured tensile force load data to be stored, and to be acquired remotely by radio. The
load meters are placed by anchor heads of existing anchors, which could hardly be done in
the past. Using stressing tools, the stress on anchors are transferred to the meters. By
utilizing this technology, it is possible to maintain important anchors for disaster prevention
Installation of the technology
at reasonable costs. 82 systems have been adopted by the Tohoku, Hokuriku and Shikoku
Regional Development Bureaus and NEXCO at 24 construction sites including dams and roads.

Cushioning-type guard fence reeving wire rope
(Traffic Engineering Research Team)
This technology consists of wire rope having high
toughness and relatively weak supports and is expected
to drastically reduce major accidents such as fatal one by
absorbing shocks of vehicle collision mainly with
deflection of wire rope. The guard fence consists of
supports 9 cm in diameter reeving wire rope and there is
no difference between the two sides, and thus the width
required for installation is small and the installation cost
can be reduced.

Since this guard fence can be installed and removed
Collision experiment with the large-size car
by humans, it is possible to partially make opening
sections in an emergency to allow car drivers to drive in the opposite lane and complete repair work in a short time.
In the future, it is expected to make safer and smoother transportation by utilizing it for a median strip of a high-standard arterial road
having temporarily two lanes. This guard fence has already been installed on the Hokkaido Expressway (1,600 m from Onuma Interchange
to Mori Interchange), Tenpokutoge of Route 275 (325 m), the Ban-Etsu Experssway (390 m), the Kisei Expressway (128 m), and was installed
on Route 238 (323 m) and the Obihiro-Hiroo Expressway (1,668 m from Churui Interchange to Churuitaiki Interchange) in FY2014.

High-performance SMA is a new asphalt mixture that has both a
draining pavement texture and stone mastic asphalt (SMA)
superior in durability. Although pavement surface layer is
usually designed, produced and placed so that the physical and
mechanical quality is even in the vertical direction, highperformance SMA has a porous layer near the surface and dense

Attachment-type road sweeping device for rotary snowplow (Machinery Technology Research Team)
Since road maintenance- and snow removal-dedicated
cars are operated for only half a year, we developed an
attachment-type road sweeping device for the purpose
of reduction in machinery expenses, focusing on the fact
that rotary snow plows can be utilized throughout the
year.
This device makes costs lower than the conventional
machinery expenses by utilizing rotary snow plows
throughout the year.
This has been introduced into the Sapporo Development

Development Bureau, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and used for road maintenance works.
Quality control of embankment with impact acceleration tester
(Geotechnical Research Team)
This Impact Acceleration Tester can control quality of embankments that serve as the

toughness due to cross-linking effect of vinylon short fiber, and thus
spalling can be prevented. In addition, freeze-thaw resistance is
enhanced by mixing hollow microspheres.
Some of conventional concrete spraying construction methods use
accelerating agent in order to prevent spraying material from flowing
down. In such case, however, spraying material sets quickly so the

surface cannot be smoothly finished and crack is easy to occur, i.e. causing the problems of aesthetic appearance and spalling. This
construction method has no such problems because set accelerating agent is never used and is able to maintain a reinforcing effect for a
long time without corrosion because the spraying material consists of mortar/concrete and synthetic fibers. So far, this method has been
applied to four sites.

Technical Instruction
Disaster Restoration Support
Japan has been affected by frequent natural disasters involving earthquakes, torrential rains, sediment disasters and snow
damage, resulting in major human and property losses. PWRI has a system in place for prompt response to the occurrence
of a disaster to survey the actual condition of damages immediately after the disaster, to give technical instruction on
restoration methods for affected civil engineering structures and to provide technical assistance relating to lifesaving
techniques from a sediment disaster.
Immediately following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, at the requests of the central and local governments, we
surveyed the damage to bridges, road embankments and other structures, provided instructions for emergency restoration,
and thus made great contributions to securing the safety of roads, the key of the transport routes for emergency vehicles
and relief supplies. We also sent experts as appropriate to help technically respond to damage induced by river levees and
landslides, as well as damage to dams and sewage treatment plants. Following the debris flow disaster which occurred in
Hiroshima in 2014, we dispatched landslide experts to the site at the request of the national government. Based on the
concept of criteria for determining the termination of search advised by PWRI and the results of on-site investigations for
resuming of search, the timing for resuming the search activities of the prefectural police department, the fire department
and the Japan Self-Defense Forces was decided. In this way, we contributed to securing of the safety for their search
activities.

regions. We assist in more than 2,000 cases each year, in
the fields of agriculture, fisheries, and harbors. PWRI also
participates in some 1,500 governmental and academic
technical committee meetings every year, supporting
national and regional authorities with technical advice.
We also reflect accumulated findings and research
results in the development and revision of various
technical standards.
Dispatch of Lecturers
PWRI strives to guide and disseminate civil engineering
information. We send lecturers for a wide variety of
courses from training courses for engineers at the
College of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism,
regional development bureaus, the Hokkaido Regional
Development Bureau, local governments, and
universities, to lecture meetings directed toward high
schools, primary and secondary schools, and the general
public.

Other Technical Instruction
PWRI has concluded agreements with local governments for the purpose of civil engineering technical support, training
and developing engineers, and providing disaster support, and we are striving to strengthen our technical support system.
For instance, the Civil Engineering Research Institute for Cold Region made a statement in 2010 that the institute aims to
become a civil engineering ‘home doctor’ and announced a policy to gear up its technical support to local governments.
In response to this statement, an alliance/cooperation agreement for civil engineering was concluded with Hokkaido,
Sapporo City and Kushiro City, and the institute is engaged in activities with the objectives of improving technical capacity
and training engineers in these regions.

Support to the New Technology Information System (NETIS)
Upon requests of regional development bureaus, the PWRI Committee for NETIS examines technical items such as the
safety and economic efficiency of proposed new techniques and replies to the relevant regional development bureau, etc.
as appropriate. We also send our people to the regional development bureaus’ committee for NETIS as its members. In this
way, we are contributing to the usage promotion of new technologies and the enhancement of overall technology
development competencies. Furthermore, we send our people to the NETIS review meetings organized by MLIT as
members and provide a wide range of support to technological issues consulted individually from the regional development
bureaus, etc. concerning the utilization of new technologies. In this way, PWRI is actively involved with the overall operation
of the system.

PWRI New Technology
Showcase
The “PWRI new technology showcase” is a seminar event
for explaining new technologies developed in joint
projects, exhibiting panels and models in another room
and responding any technical consultation for
application to actual sites. The showcase is held every
year in Tokyo and a few other cities including Sapporo to
promote new technologies.
PWRI New Technology Seminar /
On-site Seminar
The PWRI New Technology Seminar gives lectures on
selected technologies for cost reduction, time shortening
or other application effectiveness so as to address current
detailed technical trends in the respective areas as may be
required for application at sites, etc. The seminar is held
every year in Tokyo.
The On-site Tour is held on as many occasions as practical
in the field where PWRI developed technology is being
actually applied to ensure that the participants can actually
see with their eyes, understand application methods and
benefits.

Developmental
Technology Seminar
PWRI holds briefing sessions on development
technologies regarding subjects which are of
interest to engineers in snowy cold regions
by actively calling on related institutions in
order to promote the utilization of new
technologies researched and developed in
snowy cold regions on sites of public works.
On-site Seminar
On-site seminars are cosponsored in various
areas of Hokkaido by the Civil Engineering
Research Institute for Cold Region and
the Hokkaido Regional Development
Bureau because survey methods and
countermeasures in snowy cold regions are
effectively utilized at sites and such seminars
contribute to the promotion of development
in Hokkaido.

International Contribution
Collaboration with International
Organizations
PWRI actively promotes research and practical on-site activities in collaboration
with international research institutes in Asian and other countries.
For example, the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management
(ICHARM) concluded a partnership agreement with the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) in November 2009, conducted “Technical Assistance of Investment in
Water Hazard Management (TA7276)” in Indonesia and Bangladesh until the end
of March 2013, in which it introduced the Integrated Flood Analysis System (IFAS)
and prepared a basic policy for building a flood forecasting and warning system.
ICHARM also carried out “Strategic Strengthening of Flood Forecasting/Warning
and Management Capacity in Pakistan” managed by UNESCO, in which it
developed and introduced a flood forecasting and warning system utilizing IFAS
and implemented training for government officials.
ICHARM has been in charge of strengthening urban flood management capacity
in ADB’s project for Myanmar, “Transformation of Urban Management (TA8456MYA)” since July 2014, implementing training for government officials and
conducting assessment of flood and storm surge risks. In addition, ICHARM has
been serving as the secretariat of “the International Flood Initiative (IFI)”, a
framework to promote collaboration in flood management among international
organizations such as UNESCO, WMO, UNU, and UNISDR.
PWRI will plan and implement various activities in collaboration with funding
organizations such as the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the
World Bank.

Development
Over the past five years, PWRI has received 1887 trainees in the civil engineering
field from 114 countries in Asia, Africa and Central & South America. We also strive
to train and develop human resources across the world in civil engineering
technology by dispatching many lecturers for civil engineering professional training
courses on rivers and dams, road administration, bridge technology, measures
against sediment disaster, disaster prevention, etc. These training courses are
sponsored by JICA and targeted at engineers from developing countries.
Meanwhile, in collaboration with the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies
(GRIPS) and JICA, ICHARM has since 2007 been implementing a 1-year Master’s
Degree Program entitled Water-related Risk Management Course of the Disaster

Support
At the requests of the JICA and the government, academic conferences,
and overseas research institutions, PWRI sends employees (2014:90)
abroad and actively provides PWRI’s findings and research results to the
international community.
As a specific example of technical assistance, when a natural dam failed in
Ambon Island, Indonesia, in July 2013, water level information from “ PWRI
airdropped water-level monitoring buoys" which had been placed there
by PWRI in February 2013 was utilized for evacuation of residents and
damages were minimized. After the failure of the natural dam, PWRI
participated in the government fact-finding mission, checked on damages
and advised emergency recovery measures, etc.
