Company PR
Since 1987, we have been involved in the development and sales of the "PIPE Series" software package related to the sewer
system designed for civil engineers.
In recent years, we have received many inquiries concerning asset management, mostly from local government bodies.
In response to such requests, PIPE DESIGN,Inc. offers drafting and consulting for work systems related to water and sewerage
facilities, entrusted development of systems, and web applications that utilize the GIS geographical information system.

Technology Employed
- Information service industry
- We provide an efficient system for carrying out a linked process of sewer pipe and drain system planning and execution design.
- Information service industry
- We offer entrusted development according to suggestions for making use of software such as AutoCAD, Microsoft products, or GIS.
- Information service industry
- We offer various kinds of data conversions, CAD data construction, GIS data construction, various kinds of analyses
(structural analysis, drain flow analysis), 3D data creation and other services.
- Information service industry
- We offer AutoCAD training classes to suit the user’s level, and other support such as creation of operation manuals.
- Information service industry
- We are involved in localization of technical software from various countries for the Japanese domestic market. In many cases,
software operation manuals are written using foreign specifications (for example, the units for weight, area, or volume),
and we translate these by converting them to Japanese specifications.
Primary Area of Technical Expertise
PIPE Design Pro (herein after referred to as PDP) is a CAD system that operates with AutoCAD for the purpose of creating blueprints
for the plane and vertical sections of pipe and drain in sewerage design and implementation design.
The software makes it possible to centrally carry out all necessary work for sewerage design, such as floor planning, vertical section
planning, vertical section calculation, vertical section drawing, flow rate calculation, etc., which is used to create planning and
management drawings (plan view of sewerage facilities and flow rate table).
We are the only company in Japan that develops software dedicated in Japan can be used overseas,
and even when sewerage-related Japanese companies carry cut ODA projects, data compatibility
between Japan and overseas can be performed smoothly.
Future Business Challenges
- Drafting, development, and maintenance of a web-based geographical information contents service
- Deterioration diagnosis of sewer pipes using AI
