CFCC CIVIL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION DIVISION
What is the secret of the bridge that will last for 100 years?
One important value for the 21st century infrastructure scenes is the idea of "Life Cycle Cost." Tokyo Rope Group's corrosion free reinforcement material called "CFCC" challenges to enable a bridge to last 100 years, by elongating the life period of a bridge concrete. This highly advanced technology is flexibly adaptable to structures in various environments. With solid installation records in 10 coastal and snowy states in the USA, CFCC technologies will keep challenging on the creation of long-lived infrastructures around the world.

LEADING TECHNOLOGY
CFCC®
(Carbon Fiber Composite Cable)
CFCC is stranded CFRP uniquely developed by TRI, consisting of carbon fiber and epoxy resin matrix. The biggest advantage is flexibility and light weight compared to other solid carbon technology.

PRODUCTS
Pre-Stressed Concrete Reinforcement
As a non-corrosive material, CFCC can be used as tendon or reinforcement member. CFCC can reduce the maintenance cost.
External Cable System
CFCC is the a suitable component for external cable system because of its non-corrosive and light weight property.

Bridge Cables
Application of CFCC as bridge cable can reduce the maintenance cost, and also can extend the possibility of super long-span bridges because of its lightweight and corrosion resistant characteristics.
