The feature for September is "Wooden Bridges."
Wooden bridges vary in scale and design, including those that span historical townscapes and rivers from walking paths within parks. Zaiens, a member company of the Wooden Bridge Technology Association, conducts precise inspections of existing wooden bridges as part of infrastructure utilization, and carries out everything from renovation design to manufacturing in a consistent system.
This time, we are introducing a case of renovating a wooden bridge over the Shiba River in the Minuma area of Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture. The wooden bridge blends well with the lush green landscape.
