Advanced Technology Engineering Group Yasuyuki Nakanishi Doctor of Engineering I pursued a degree in engineering in part because I have been involved in the seismic design of bridges and other existing infrastructure since I joined the company, and because I treasure my connections with university professors and laboratories.
Given that most of the infrastructure in Japan was constructed during the period of rapid economic growth, we are seeing a decline in functions in many structures due in part to aging and obsolescence.
I am mainly involved in designs for reinforcing this type of existing infrastructure. Although I specialize in bridges, I have also investigated other structures outside my specialty, including dam spillway gates, penstocks for hydroelectric power generation, and even traditional stone structures.
NEWJEC has designed many structures, including the Japan Society of Civil Engineers Tanaka Award-winning Minato Bridge in Osaka and Shinminato Bridge in Toyama, and as a bridge engineer, I want to be involved in the design of large bridges like these.
NEWJEC is also taking part in Joint Research for Using AI to Streamline Road Bridge Maintenance, and I believe it is important to use AI in repair designs. If AI can help us be more efficient in studies and surveys, we can devote more energy to evaluations and diagnosis, enabling us to streamline overall operations and further improve quality.
