Abstract: Construction at devastated district or waterside area demand unmanned construction and shallow water construction machines. But, those machines are presumed not to exist. Purpose of this study project is development of technology for shallow water construction by remote control machines. This paper describes develop of a shallow water construction carrier in the project. The carrier needs to be amphibian for extending its reach. And, in consideration of easily-availability, that has to be realized by altering a common carrier. Installation of bulkhead walls around the engine and submarine snorkels on a common carrier realize a shallow water crawler carrier. The carrier was able to drive in 1.5m depth water by manned operation.
