The five-year Kawasaki – SELI industrial agreement provides SELI experience with the construction and marketing of EPBMs to be used in conditions of up to a maximum 6 bar water pressure, with diameters ranging from 5.5-15.5m. Necessary auxiliary equipment will be manufactured in Rome, and exclusively licensed to KHI. SELI will act in a double role as both TBM supplier and Contractor. The philosophy behind the industrial agreement is to create economy by using production sites in Japan and Italy.
The Kawasaki Heavy Industries- SELI Industrial contract was officially signed on Apr.15th, 2010 by Mr Keiji Matsumura, General manager of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd (KHI), and Mr Remo Grandori, President of SELI.
