1. Benefits of "Construction Performance" through NETIS Registration This product is registered in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's new technology information provision system "NETIS" (Number: TH-250021-A). Utilizing NETIS registered technology makes it easier to receive additional points in the evaluation of construction performance after completion. 2. Dramatic Cost Reduction from the "Quarter" Weight of Steel Plates The greatest strength lies in its overwhelming lightness. Compared to conventional steel plates, the weight is reduced to about one-fourth. • Improved transportation efficiency: A single 10-ton truck can carry up to 40 pieces of 5×10 plates (1.5m×3m). This reduces the number of trips and significantly cuts transportation costs. 3. Effective "Low Noise and Heat Resistance" for Neighborhood Measures and Safety Management Improving the site environment is a key concern for site managers in preventing neighborhood complaints and addressing heatstroke. Heatstroke measures: The surface temperature is lower compared to steel plates (more than 20°C lower than steel plates measured in August), and there is almost no reflection. It is expected to be utilized as a "heatwave countermeasure" to suppress temperature increases on site.

The sheets used at construction sites require various considerations, including strength, workability, transportability, work burden, and safety. What we have developed is the Hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A). The Hyper CLT sheet is not just aimed at being a new "wooden sheet." What we value is that it can truly be used on-site and that we can make proposals based on evidence rather than intuition. To achieve this, we have focused on the feedback and usability obtained from actual construction sites while advancing the acquisition and verification of various data through collaboration with universities. Points that may be difficult to see in solo corporate development have been organized from a more objective perspective by incorporating university expertise, which has been reflected in product development. It needs to be evaluated comprehensively, considering weight, maneuverability, burden during installation, consideration for the surrounding environment, and ease of introduction. In this context, the Hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A) expands possibilities as a new option based on practical insights gained on-site and data support through collaboration with universities.

When it comes to hyper CLT sheets, many people may have the image of sheets used at construction or civil engineering sites. However, the potential of hyper CLT sheets (NETIS registration number TH-250021-A) goes beyond that. We believe that hyper CLT sheets can be utilized not only as "site materials" but also as "materials that support gathering places." One representative scene of this utilization is event venues. At event venues, there are many situations where it is necessary to temporarily protect the ground or create a safe environment for passage, such as outdoor events, local festivals, exhibitions, around temporary stages, food truck areas, material delivery routes, and pedestrian pathways for visitors. In this way, hyper CLT sheets have the potential to contribute to creating a foundation for people to gather, move safely, and use spaces, going beyond the framework of being merely "sheets for construction." Hyper CLT sheets have the potential to be active not only at construction sites but also in various situations such as event venues and temporary spaces. We do not want to think of "sheets" as something only for sites, but rather we aim to further expand their possibilities in the future.

Hello, this is the public relations department of KAITAKU Co., Ltd. in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture! Recently, our wooden lightweight hyper CLT sheet has been officially registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (NETIS number: TH-250021-A). The decisive difference between hyper CLT sheets and conventional temporary materials lies in the "exit" after their durability period ends. The hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A) is not discarded after its role on site is finished; instead, it is reused as chip fuel for biomass power generation. • Made: It is made from **wood (thinned timber)**, resulting in low environmental impact. • Used: It significantly contributes to reducing CO2 on site. • Converted to energy: Once its durability period is over, it becomes chip fuel for biomass power generation, ensuring that no resources are wasted. In this way, a **"complete circular" system** is established that connects materials to energy. Additionally, these initiatives can serve as a strong appeal for creativity related to construction performance. Please try the hyper CLT sheet (NETIS number: TH-250021-A)!

What we aim to achieve is to transform the market for steel plates, which has been taken for granted until now, into one that utilizes wood. Of course, there are reasons why steel plates have been used for many years, and they are important materials that support the field. However, there are also issues that need to be reconsidered, such as the burden of transportation due to their weight, the hassle of installation and removal, the rise in surface temperature during summer, and environmental impact. That is why we want to propose a new option: wood. Wooden sheets are not just alternative materials. They offer lightness, ease of handling, a friendly working environment, and environmental consideration. There is potential to add new value against the conventional wisdom. The hyper CLT sheets we are working on (NETIS registration number: TH-250021-A) are precisely one of those challenges. We want to gradually change the fixed notion that "sheets must be made of steel" and promote wooden sheets as truly user-friendly materials that are suitable for the future. That is our business vision. Moving forward, we will continue to expand the possibilities of wood in the field and deliver new value to the construction industry.

The Hyper CLT flooring board is a wooden flooring board that utilizes CLT developed by KAITAKU Co., Ltd. It was developed as a new CLT flooring board to replace conventional steel plates, with an eye toward use in temporary roads, access roads, and construction sites. In addition to its functionality as temporary material, it is also gaining attention for its lightweight nature and environmental considerations. One of its significant features is the improvement in transportation efficiency due to its lightweight. Conventional flooring boards and steel plates are heavy, making transportation and handling costly and labor-intensive, while the Hyper CLT flooring board is expected to reduce the burden during transport, ultimately leading to lower transportation costs. The use of CLT in the civil engineering field is still relatively rare, which makes it easier to differentiate and enhances proposal capabilities on-site. Including its soft impression as a wooden flooring board and consideration for the landscape, it is recommended for those considering the development of temporary roads and access roads, as well as those looking for lightweight and transportation-efficient temporary materials. For inquiries about the details and sales of the Hyper CLT flooring board, or to request product materials, please feel free to contact us.

The heat at the worksite is not determined solely by the temperature. In summer, factors such as reflection, heat from the ground, and the stifling heat without escape play a significant role. This "gradual burden" directly affects judgment, concentration, and safety. The Hyper CLT flooring contributes to improving the hot environment not only as a substitute for steel plates but also from the following perspectives: 1) Reduces reflection and lowers the perceived temperature. Steel plates tend to have higher surface temperatures due to sunlight, which can significantly impact the surrounding thermal environment. The Hyper CLT flooring can lower the perceived temperature by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates. 2) Lightweight and quick to set up = can shorten "work during hot hours." It weighs about a quarter of traditional steel plates, reducing the burden of transportation and installation. As a result, it shortens the setup work under the blazing sun and makes it easier to combine with "shifts to morning and evening" and "avoiding work during dangerous hours." 3) Contributes to safety underfoot even during sudden summer rain or watering. Steel plates can become slippery when wet, increasing the risk of falls. Choosing Hyper CLT flooring not only addresses heatstroke prevention but also helps reduce the risk of falls and near-misses.
