Since its inception in 1922, the Kawada Group, Inc. has grown into a global leader in complex steel structures for infrastructure and buildings.
Kawada's capabilities and solutions, whether for the entire package of our resources, or for specialised activities (fabrication, design, technical assistance, erection engineering / heavy lifting, value engineering, or related supervisory activities), are sought after for major projects, world-wide.
Behind Kawada's success lies a tradition of innovation and creativity, coupled with guarantees of quality, efficiency, and safety. Our innovative ideas have enabled Kawada to engineer, fabricate, and construct many bridges and structures, unparalleled in size and shape, not just within Japan, but also in Asia, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. The Guinness Book of World Records has acknowledged our achievements for bridge-span length, and for the structural height of a statue. We are confident that you too will quickly understand that Kawada's achievements have become the standard for the industry.
Kawada's core operations encompass:
| (1) | steel bridges, |
|---|---|
| (2) | steel structures, and |
| (3) | total building construction services. |
Within this nucleus, completed projects constitute a variety of tastes and designs that are unmistakably "Kawada". Outside of this nucleus, Kawada's diversified operations include pre-engineered metal buildings, ecological urban systems, and new generation robotics solutions. Extensive research and development ensures that Kawada will remain at the forefront of the elite by introducing timely technical innovations, such as our System Truss Bridges and SC Deck (Steel and Concrete Composite Bridge Deck) system. Kawada strives to contribute to improve people's standard of living by building more comfortable living and working environments, and by building safer and more efficient travel routes.
