Resistant to salt damage and corrosion! Harmonizes with the surrounding nature! FRP boardwalk.
As an example of the construction of the "FRP Boardwalk," we introduce the "Sata Misaki Observation Park (Path No. 9)" in Kagoshima Prefecture. This is a slope leading to the observation deck at the southernmost tip of Kyushu Island, located within the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park. The elevated, winding shape allows for changing perspectives, offering distant views of the Pacific Ocean, Kinko Bay, the surrounding native cycad habitat, Biro Island, and Mount Kaimon. Due to the coastal location, FRP, a material that is resistant to salt damage and has a color close to that of wood, was chosen for its excellent aesthetic qualities in a natural environment. Additionally, since it is an area inaccessible to vehicles, a pin foundation that can be constructed manually without heavy machinery was adopted for the foundation. 【Overview】 ■ Sata Misaki Observation Park (Path No. 9) ■ Kagoshima Prefecture, constructed in March 2016 ■ W1.5m x L165.7m ■ Handrails and flooring: Cedar wood ■ Structure: FRP (pultruded material)

basic information
**Strengths of FRP Boardwalks** (1) Lightweight and strong! - Superior lightweight compared to traditional structural materials like metal and concrete. - Composed of high-strength structures reinforced with fiberglass and other plastics. (2) Resistant to salt damage and water, and does not corrode! - High corrosion resistance that does not rust or rot like wood or metal. - Contributes to the reduction of lifecycle costs. (3) Excellent weather resistance! - Can suppress deterioration from UV rays and wind and rain compared to general plastics. - Contributes to the reduction of lifecycle costs. (4) Good aesthetic appeal! - Color options are available through surface coatings, allowing harmony with the surrounding landscape. **Strengths of the Pin Foundation Method (Simple Foundation)** - No heavy machinery is required, and excavation of the ground surface is unnecessary. - Environmentally friendly as large-scale excavation of the ground surface is not needed. - Capable of addressing weak ground conditions that traditional foundation methods cannot handle. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.*

Company information
■FRP materials that are lightweight, have high strength per unit weight, are corrosion-resistant, and are strong against salt damage. ■Pin foundation bases that do not require the use of heavy machinery or excavation of the ground surface. Our company has introduced these two technologies ahead of other companies in Japan and boasts a wealth of construction achievements. We are involved in the design and construction of bridges, decks, boardwalks, and piers in national parks and theme parks that are well-known to everyone. By partnering with a Dutch company and introducing new technology using FRP materials, we have made it possible to construct long-span FRP bridges that were previously difficult to achieve. Furthermore, a durability of over 60 years is expected, making this a technology that can open up new markets in the future.
