Civil Engineering and Ocean Development

The various titanium cladding process methods developed by our group are broadly adopted not only for new marine construction but also for the repair of currently existing social infrastructure such as coastal bridges, piers, and revetments.

Characteristics

Corrosion resistance

  • Cladding the surface with titanium foil or a thin plate with excellent corrosion resistance elongates the lifetime and reduces maintenance cost for construction.

Excellent workability

  • Our titanium foil construction method uses thin 0.1-mm titanium foil, ensuring excellent workability. This method is applicable not only for covering the entire surface, but also for the repair of rusting portion only.

Exposure test results

  • Results of 12-year exposure test under severe coastal environment
