Renovation Case of Wooden Facilities: Sendan Taki Waterfall

Appropriate renovation proposals are possible! Introducing cases where FRP materials were used for the renovation of three steel bridges.

We would like to introduce a renovation case of three steel bridges at "Sendan Taki Falls (Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture)." These bridges span a walking path that circles around a famous waterfall with a drop of 70 meters, located deep within the mountains of Gokasou. Due to the harsh climate, corrosion had progressed, leading to a complete renovation. Access to the construction site was challenging due to narrow road widths and significant elevation differences, preventing the entry of construction vehicles and heavy machinery. As a result, manual transportation of materials and construction was required. Additionally, to minimize maintenance, FRP pull-out materials were used. To address the slippery floor surface caused by accumulated sediment and fallen leaves, along with the splashing water from the falls, grating floor panels were installed, enhancing the excitement of crossing the bridge. 【Renovation Case】 ■ Renovation Details: Three steel bridges (Width: 1.5m × Length: 16.3m, etc.) ■ Materials Used: - Structural Material: Steel → FRP - Floor Panels: Steel → FRP - Handrails: Steel → FRP Our company is capable of providing appropriate renovation proposals by combining various materials such as steel, aluminum alloys, FRP, recycled wood, and natural wood.
