URUP Method

Significantly reducing CO2 emissions through ground-level launch and arrival

POINT

  • Enabling rapid shield tunneling

    By allowing the shield machine to launch and arrive at ground level, the URUP method eliminates the need for vertical shafts and open-cut excavation, making rapid shield tunneling possible. Avoiding the use of large construction equipment for shaft construction and reducing the number of dump trucks required for soil removal helps lower CO2 emissions.
