アイテク Company Profile

We will challenge the long-life cycle cost of various concrete structures that support life with the latest repair and reinforcement technologies.

Concrete structures were recognized until recent years as maintenance-free. However, as reported by the media in recent years, there have been numerous cases of damage to structures caused by the corrosion of steel due to chloride ions and the carbonation of concrete. Additionally, concrete structures are also damaged by alkali-silica reactions, freeze-thaw cycles, and acid rain. Furthermore, due to societal demands for increased efficiency in road transportation, the design loads for road bridges have been increased since 1993. However, many bridges continue to be used under outdated design standards. These structures often lack sufficient load-bearing capacity, and many are experiencing damage due to overloading. The myth of concrete structures as maintenance-free permanent structures has become a thing of the past. In response to the various concrete structures that support our daily lives, Aitec Co., Ltd. is challenging to extend their life cycle with the latest repair and reinforcement technologies.
