Since our founding in 1964, the year the Tokyo Olympic Games were held, Nippon Civic Consulting Engineers Co., Ltd. has grown into a specialized engineering consulting firm with comprehensive expertise in underground space engineering, particularly in shield tunneling engineering.We have contributed to numerous large-scale infrastructure projects across Japan, including the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line, the Yamate Tunnel of the Metropolitan Expressway, the Yokohama Municipal Subway, and Loop Road No.7 Underground Flood Control Reservoir.We have also contributed to major international infrastructure projects, including the Bosphorus Strait Crossing Road and the Dhaka MRT.

In addition to shield tunneling engineering, we have accumulated extensive engineering expertise in underground construction using a range of methods, including cut-and-cover, NATM, and immersed tunnel construction.We also contribute to the advancement of underground engineering through participation in technical committees and the development of tunnel disaster prevention technologies.As a leader in underground engineering, we are committed to contributing to society through engineering excellence. Our expertise plays a vital role in urban infrastructure development and disaster resilience, particularly in densely developed urban areas where efficient land use is essential.

Our greatest strength lies in our engineers, each of whom is dedicated to tackling complex challenges.Even in an age of rapidly evolving digital technologies, new challenges cannot be solved without the accumulated knowledge, experience, and judgment of skilled engineers.Their ability to develop optimal solutions to the ever-evolving challenges of urban infrastructure development is what drives our success.

We will continue to contribute to infrastructure development in Japan while also supporting urban infrastructure development in emerging countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America, where urbanization is advancing rapidly. Through technical cooperation and engineering expertise, we will continue to support sustainable urban infrastructure development in these regions. Toward this end, we are committed to fostering the next generation of engineers.

Origin of the company name and our passion

The word “civic” in our company name means “citizen’s” or “relating to a city or town”. “Civic” is also etymologically linked to civil engineering. This was the idea of one of our employees, who expressed their desire to do work that contributed to the lives of city residents in the civil engineering field. We have been involved in many urban infrastructure projects using shield tunnels, which is our specialty. This is the design of tunnels for infrastructure such as highways, subways, electricity, water and sewage systems, and underground storm water storage facilities. Taking full advantage of the latest technology, we will continue to contribute to the development of urban infrastructure that supports the lives of our citizens.
