Crittec Industries receives the "Shinkin Central Bank Chairman's Award" at the Shinkin Excellent Company Awards - Selected for high evaluation of its 100-year durability bridge expansion devices and social contribution activities.

A bridge expansion device proven to last 100 years! No replacement needed for new bridges for 100 years! Long-term water-tightness, maintenance-free [NEXCO specification compliant product].

The Hybrid Joint 3LII type has a vertical integrated structure of the load support plate and anchor plate, making it highly durable and preventing damage from metal fatigue. Its durability is equivalent to an ultra-long term of 100 years! It has been proven through fatigue loading tests conducted by a third-party organization, clearing the equivalent of 12 million cycles, which corresponds to 100 years. This assumes that a 25-ton large vehicle has traveled over the 3LII type 12 million times, equating to a 100-year durability. The standard design supply period for bridges is 100 years. For newly constructed bridges, there is no need to replace the expansion device for 100 years. The 3LII type is maintenance-free, eliminating the need for sound inspection that requires traffic regulation, leading to reduced maintenance costs and improved safety. It is a product capable of accommodating large expansion ranges (150-350mm) and wide gaps (up to 730mm), making it one of the largest among expansion devices that have passed NEXCO standards. It has been widely adopted on highways nationwide as a product that meets NEXCO specifications. For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

A newly constructed bridge requires no replacement for 100 years! Long-term water resistance, maintenance-free.

In the longevity of bridges, the durability of expansion joints is a very important factor. Replacing expansion joints requires significant costs and traffic regulations, which can reduce the operational efficiency of bridges. The Hybrid Joint Type 3LII achieves a durability of 100 years, contributing to cost reduction and improved safety from a long-term perspective. 【Application Scenarios】 - New bridges - Repairs of existing bridges - Highways * For general roads, there is the "Hybrid Joint Type 3LIIA." 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduction in lifecycle costs due to no need for replacement for 100 years - Maintenance-free, eliminating the need for sound inspections and ultrasonic inspections, reducing maintenance costs - Decreased frequency of traffic regulations, mitigating traffic congestion and noise damage, and enhancing safety - Adoption of new technology through NETIS registration (No. KT-210067-A)

[NETIS Registered Product] Supports large expansion and contraction (200–600mm) and wide spacing (up to 1230mm). Expansion device for bridges designed with consideration for the surrounding environment.

The Hybrid Joint 3LIIA type, like the conventional Hybrid Joint 3L type, has a vertical integrated structure for the load support and anchor plate sections, resulting in high durability with almost no damage from metal fatigue. By using steel plates vertically, the exposed parts are minimized, leading to very low impact during operation, and making the product less prone to noise and vibration. It is capable of accommodating large expansion and contraction (200–600mm) and wide gaps (up to 1230mm), making it one of the largest products in the category of rubber-based joints (a general term for products other than finger joints and embedded joints). The main differences from the NEXCO specification 3LII type are that the secondary water stop material is not standard equipment (but can be installed separately) and that the painting specifications differ. The durability and water stop structure of the main body are equivalent to the NEXCO specifications. 【Features】 ○ Accommodates large expansion and contraction and wide gaps ○ High water stop performance due to the zipper structure ○ Long-term durability and maintenance-free For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.

Large expansion range (200–600mm) and wide play space (up to 1230mm) compatible. Bridge expansion device that is environmentally friendly for bridge surroundings [NETIS registered product].

The Hybrid Joint 3LIIA type has a vertical integrated structure for the load support section and the anchor plate section, making it highly durable, with almost no damage from metal fatigue. By using steel plates vertically, the exposed parts are minimized, resulting in very low impact during operation, and the product is less likely to generate noise and vibration. It is capable of accommodating large expansion and contraction (200–600mm) and wide spacing (up to 1230mm). 【Features】 ○ Supports large expansion and contraction and wide spacing ○ High watertightness due to double waterproof structure ○ Long-term durability and maintenance-free For more details, please contact us or request a catalog.
