CENTRAIR, the nickname of Central Japan International Airport, is under construction in the sea off Tokoname City, Aichi prefecture. It will open in March 2005, then will be a major air-hub in global network as a gateway of Japan. CENTRAIR is located 35km south of downtown Nagoya and the access time to that is 30 to 40 minutes by rail or car.
In order to construct and operate CENTRAIR, Central Japan International Airport Co., Ltd. was designated as a commissioning entity by Japanese government.
CENTRAIR is on a man-made island. Dredged soil from Nagoya port is unloaded by compressed air to the north part of the island. This system, “Pneumatic Flow Mixing Method”, enable us to prepare a certain strong ground in a short period, through the mixing and kneading of the soil and cement slurry in a pipeline.
