Expertise
Across Nippon Koei, technology innovation is supported by our central research institute, which is responsible for R&D for core technologies relating to civil engineering, architecture, environment and social science. It is of utmost importance to us that we are able to meet the sophisticated and complex needs of cities both now and in the future.
How we can help
1. Data analytics and city insights
GauDT, developed by Nippon Koei, is a mobility data analytics platform that transforms raw data into actionable insights for planners, policymakers and developers. It can be customised to provide insights relating to specific city design challenges through its three core themes: Economic, Infrastructure and People. For example, the platform is being used by UK Department of Business to provide insights relating to the mass rapid transit North-South line being developed in Jakarta, Indonesia.
2. Satellites and drones monitoring
Nippon Koei has developed its own technology using remote sensing using satellites to provide risk assessment, forecasting and monitoring services to clients. By combining highly accurate imagery with accumulated knowledge and data, we can provide services from detailed disaster analysis from flood damage to monitoring urban developments or major infrastructure.
3. Smart buildings
Integrating digital technology into physical infrastructure is essential for creating an intelligent and autonomous buildings, delivering numerous benefits in sustainability, space utilisation, building efficiency, and cost management. Working with our partners, PTS Global we developed a smart campus strategy for the University of Birmingham who want to bring together its people, processes and services to become a fully connected, global campus.
4. BIM
BIM data is becoming an invaluable commodity to drive innovation in design, construction and building operation. Through our involvement at the leading edge of BIM development, BDP has a fully defined processes on how to optimise the data that is created during the whole building lifecycle. Our BIM expertise is being applied on the Asahan No.3 Hydroelectric Power Plant in Indonesia so Nippon Koei’s civil engineering team can make fast, accurate decisions increasing the efficiency of the construction process.
