overseas projects for various types of bridges including long-span suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges and continuous box girder bridges. Rich experience and proven technological achievements in water gate construction are also demonstrated by our contributions to water resource development, water control and water supply stabilization by delivering main tail races for dams, river weir water gates and other water gates. Super high-rise buildings and power generation plants are where our steel flame supplies are greatly appreciated for their quality. Steel stacks, aqueduct pipes and penstocks are also sold in large volumes to our many customers.

We are committed to continual research and development to promote effective use of subterranean resources. As a result, we have sold many shield tunneling machines to the construction industry. Labor and energy saving facilities for the transport and distribution industries, and automated construction systems are being developed and marketed under the distribution category. Effective use of waterside space is another campany interest. We are involved in construction of marine facilities , such as underwater observation towers, fishing facilities and esplanades.

We are now established as an international engineering contractor who carries out total project management, covering all stages from preliminary design to plant construction with the help of advanced CAE (Computer aided engineering) systems. With a plant equipment history of nearly 70 years, Hitachi Zosen's production facility is one of the world's largest, and can manufacture large high-temperature, high-pressure equipment. This facility is the driving force behind our supply of large quantities of reliable equipment. Our reputation as a world leader in plant equipment production is linked to a record heat exchanger production of more than 15,000 units. Superior hardware technology combined with sophisticated software has given us the edge over competitors, winning the trust of our customers.

Cars, a daily necessity of life, increase in number year after year. However, urban areas are short of space for parking, leaving milions of cars on the streets. Effective use of limited space, the key to comfortable urban life, is one major interests. We are developing, constructing and supplying parking systems based on four principles:

Smooth and rapid entry and exit (Speed)
Safe designs to protect people and cars (Safety)
Energy and labor saving design (Saving)
Silent, waste-free system (Clean)

HC series:
Vertical circulating method for use in limited areas of city centers
HCT type, HC type, HCR type
HET series:
Elevator method for silent operation
HET II A type, HET III A type

HES series:
Slide elevator method, with large parking capacity and quick entry/exit
HEX series:
Lateral shuttle with lift method, with super large parking capacity for city use
