Tucson, AZ - HJ3 Composite Technologies, LLC has earned the distinction of Semi-Finalist in the Annual Cleantech Open Accelerator. This achievement qualifies the company to compete in the Rocky Mountain regional finals scheduled for October 2013.

With a decade of experience, HJ3 has been at the forefront of manufacturing and installing over 3,000,000 square feet of carbon fiber, fortifying and rehabilitating more than 10,000 structures worldwide. The game-changing carbon fiber systems offered by HJ3 boast remarkable strength, surpassing that of steel by a factor of ten.

The implementation of HJ3's carbon fiber solutions extends the lifespan of structures by an impressive 20-30 years. What's more, clients enjoy substantial cost savings amounting to 60-90% when compared to traditional replacement methods. This approach revitalizes a broad spectrum of structures, allowing owners to maximize their resources by preserving corroded structures that would have otherwise been earmarked for replacement.

As the world grapples with a deteriorating infrastructure, commanding an estimated cost of $3.6 trillion in the U.S. alone, HJ3's innovative systems empower owners to achieve more with fewer environmental repercussions. HJ3’s solutions save clients millions by repairing various elements of infrastructure, including industrial steel pipes and tanks, underground concrete pipes, bridges, commercial buildings, and residential basements.
