What is Eco-clean hybrid method?
This is an epoch-making method that enables "shot peening", a technology that improves the fatigue strength of steel products by simply adding 1 step when repainting a steel bridge.The basis of this is the circular blast method, which is a blast method that reduces environmental impact.®"Recycling and Reuse System".
It is also effective for improving fatigue durability of on-site welds in new bridges.

*Excerpt from "Effect of Shot Peening on Fatigue Strength of Welded Joints"
(Japan Society of Civil Engineering, Heisei 28 National Conference Paper Presentation Excellent Speaker Award)
By hitting countless special steel balls (peening materials) on the steel surface at high speed and plastic deformation only near the surface, it is possible to give compressive residual stress to the surface layer.This technology improves resistance to fatigue cracks and stress corrosion cracking.In addition, the crystal on the surface is miniaturized to suppress the growth of cracks.
Furthermore, surface hardening prevents scratches from entering.It is a proven technology that has been commonly used in the automotive and aircraft industries to improve fatigue durability.

足場・防護設備設置
Protective equipment is installed around the scaffold to prevent the scattering of grinding materials and dust.
(Also used for shot peening)
Base adjustment degree 1 type
For the specified dust work, the person involved in the work performs the construction by the air line equipment.
Inspection of welds, etc.
Check for cracks.Repair of the occurrence was examined and shot peening was carried out in the non-occurrence part.
Peening treatment
Due to the injection by compressed air, work efficiency is good and construction in narrow areas is also possible.Proficiency is also unnecessary.
Form management
We have established a management method using a dedicated mold measuring device (coverage checker) to ensure stable quality.
