The replacement work of the expansion joints on the Tomei Expressway (Yokohama area) has been completed without any accidents. The large-scale project was successfully carried out with a consistent system and track record in investigation, design, manufacturing, sales, and construction.

New product NEXCO certified | CF-20 | NCF type | 3LII-150 | 3LII-160 |

To adopt our products on the expressway (NEXCO), it is necessary to obtain certification in accordance with NEXCO's guidelines. Our lineup for NEXCO has traditionally included the CF type (expansion amounts of 30, 50, and 80mm) and the 3LII type (expansion amounts of 200, 250, 300, and 350mm). However, there was a gap between 80mm and 200mm, making it difficult to provide good proposals for projects requiring an expansion amount of 100mm. To address this demand, we developed the NCF-100 with an expansion amount of 100mm, and the 3LII-150 and 3LII-160 with expansion amounts of 150mm and 160mm, respectively. Additionally, we developed the CF-20 with a compact design and an expansion amount of 20mm, as well as the NCF type that can handle snow compaction. We are pleased to announce that these new products have received new certification from NEXCO. It is worth noting that the expansion amounts of 150mm and 160mm are close because the order documents may specify those exact expansion amounts. Please feel free to request materials or contact us at the timing of your product consideration before bidding or after winning the bid.

• Bridge Materials

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)
