Tunneling Business Magazine has a very nice cover story on Obayashi Corp, a well-known Tokyo, Japan-based mega-construction company with some impressive tunneling credentials. In their 30-years of working in the US, they were the first to use an earth-pressure-balance tunnel boring machine in this country, they worked on the Washington D.C. subway in the 1980’s and a few other projects that I’ve blogged about previously on GeoPrac.

Obayashi is also well known for it’s blatant disregard for workplace safety often resulting in fatalities
Mary, I allowed this comment because I appreciate the work done by http://usmwf.org/ But this isn’t really the forum for people with an axe to grind with a particular company.
