Abstract: Surface code is an error-correcting method that can be applied to the implementation of a usable quantum computer. At present, a promising candidate for a usable quantum computer is based on superconductor-specifically transmon. Because errors in transmon-based quantum computers appear biasedly as Z type errors, tailored surface and XZZX codes have been developed to deal with the type errors. Even though these surface codes have been suggested for lattice structures, since transmons-based quantum computers, developed by IBM, have a heavy-hexagon structure, it is natural to ask how tailored surface code and XZZX code can be implemented on the heavy-hexagon structure. In this study, we provide a method for implementing tailored surface code and XZZX code on a heavy-hexagon structure. Even when there is no bias, we obtain $0.231779\mathrm{\%}$ as the threshold of the tailored surface code, which is much better than $0.210064\mathrm{\%}$ and $0.209214\mathrm{\%}$ as the thresholds of the surface code and XZZX code, respectively. Furthermore, we can see that even though a decoder, which is not the best of the syndromes, is used, the thresholds of the tailored surface code and XZZX code increase as the bias of the Z error increases. Finally, we show that in the case of infinite bias, the threshold of the surface code is $0.264852\mathrm{\%}$, but the thresholds of the tailored surface code and XZZX code are $0.296157\mathrm{\%}$ and $0.328127\mathrm{\%}$ respectively.
