A city built to withstand snow with comfortable water management.

The town where we live experiences a long winter with heavy snowfall. To cope with the large amounts of snow, snow-melting ditches and snow-melting systems have been installed. Snow removal from the roads is done frequently, allowing for vehicle traffic; however, the snow removed from the roads becomes an obstacle on the sidewalks during winter, forcing pedestrians to walk on the dangerous road, which is a significant problem. In this town, groundwater is scarce, and we have no choice but to rely on river water sources for snow melting. However, using river water can lead to issues such as debris and sand clogging the nozzles, requiring frequent cleaning and adjustments throughout the winter. Additionally, if large debris gets stuck, it can cause the intake to become unusable or lead to pump failures. Sogo Corporation is developing products to solve these problems related to river water intake and ensure the necessary water volume according to the site conditions.
