MHI possesses extensive experience in delivering full turnkey solutions and has successfully implemented complex full turnkey projects in a wide range of challenging environments throughout the world.
Our full turnkey system solutions encompass several core competencies including, but not limited to, project management, design, procurement, manufacturing, installation, and Operations & Maintenance.
MHI has comprehensive experience with project financing techniques and various procurement methodologies and approaches (including private financing, public-private partnerships, DBOM, other) and have closely collaborated with and managed complex international and domestic teaming arrangements with various engineering, construction, and other companies.
We offer seamlessly integrated solutions and a wide range of proven technologies and recommendations that fully incorporate key project parameters such as ridership, cost, and system operations and maintenance. MHI further possesses the unique design and engineering capabilities to identify the most effective system alignments (to maximize operational and cost benefits) and develop relevant performance and design specifications and standards. We continually look for ways to optimize all aspects of our work and frequently assume a leadership role in project management and systems design, engineering, integration, testing, and verification.
MHI also has the proven expertise and experience to supply electrical and mechanical systems and provides a wide range of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services to meet the stringent requirements of our clients. Our O&M approach is predicated upon the core principles of customer service, safety, dependability, value, and comprehensiveness, and we are committed to delivering the highest levels of productivity and staff training for all projects we undertake.
INNOVATION, QUALITY, AND SERVICE
As a worldwide leader, MHI is
dedicated to driving innovation, quality, and
service in all aspects of our organization.
This commitment to quality and innovation is
fully realized in the ongoing research and
development of state-of-the-art,
forward-thinking transportation technologies
(such as the Crystal Mover APM system) that
anticipate the growing transportation needs of
the worldwide market for years to come.
MHI's commitment to the highest levels of customer service ensures that we meet the most stringent of client requirements for system implementation The vast technical resources and experience of the MHI organization further reassure our clients that they will receive a transportation system with the highest level of safety, reliability, and performance – delivered on-time and within budget.
THE MHI ADVANTAGE
When investing in the development of a transportation system of any size or scope, the merits of various suppliers and system technologies must be carefully weighed against each other, so that a well informed decision can be made. There are several factors that firmly place MHI in a leadership role.
Excellent Reputation and Proven Technology
MHI has a worldwide industry
reputation for the quality, innovation, safety,
and maintainability of its transportation
systems. With several decades of proven design,
development, construction, installation,
testing, commissioning, and Operations &
Maintenance expertise, MHI is a recognized and
established industry leader.
MHI's proven systems possess an impressive track record of performance that demonstrates sustained success. Other, more recent system technologies that have only been on the market for a few years may present unforeseen (and unwelcome) problems at a later stage.
Unwavering Dedication to Customer Service
MHI's
core philosophy and dedication to prompt and
effective customer service and satisfaction
places us a "cut above" in our industry, which
is critical for long term system sustainability
and potential system expansion. Failure to
provide timely and effective customer service
can prove to be extremely costly and may even
offset the seeming advantage of lower initial
system capital costs. MHI is committed to
working closely with our clients, vendors, and
team members to ensure the success of every
project that we undertake.
Corporate Strength and Financial Stability
Selecting a well established,
financially sound system supplier with
extensive corporate resources is an important
aspect of project implementation that should
not be overlooked.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) was founded in 1950 and (as of March 2007) has over 32,000 employees and a capitalization of over 265 billion yen.
MHI has eight domestic (Japan) offices, eight overseas locations, six major research and development centers, and nine major works/factories.
Our clients can rest assured and have full confidence in the strength and financial resources of the MHI organization, which is yet another unique asset that can be leveraged to ensure the success of transportation projects of any scope or size.
Commitment to Innovation
As part
of its core philosophy, MHI is dedicated to
driving innovation.
Our Crystal Mover APM technology already represents the state-of-the-art in advanced, forward thinking transit systems design, and our cutting-edge HSST maglev technology and other advanced technologies are further pushing the envelope of design innovation.
Furthermore, our new JTRAM 100% low-floor light rail vehicle is designed with a proprietary bogey system (to allow for ultra low floor operation) and the capability for environmentally friendly lithium-ion battery operation.
As we enter the new era of increasingly eco-friendly transportation, MHI will continue its work on newer, more innovative, environmentally responsible, and energy efficient transportation systems – delivering clever, cutting-edge solutions to our clients that will truly stand the test of time.
