In civil engineering sites, plywood is used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. Steel plates are common materials, but they tend to produce metallic sounds during vehicle passage and installation/removal, which can be a noise issue in construction near residential areas, schools, and hospitals. Hyper CLT plywood is a civil engineering CLT material that utilizes wood CLT. As wooden plywood, it can be used for mud prevention, ground protection, and ensuring work pathways, and its natural and soft texture helps create a different site environment compared to metal plates. The 5×10 plate weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which reduces the burden of transportation, installation, and removal. Additionally, it is easy to use for proposals that consider glare reduction and environmental considerations, making it recommended for innovative public works. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," we can propose it to companies considering noise measures, wood, plywood, timber, civil engineering, and civil engineering CLT. It is also suitable for construction that emphasizes consideration for the surrounding area and for sites considering alternatives to steel plates. We also accept requests for materials and consultations on implementation. Please consider wooden plywood as an option for temporary plans that take into account urban construction and neighboring measures.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repairs without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas utilize ground boards. In addition to conventional steel plates, a material that is gaining attention for its creativity at each site is the "Hyper CLT Ground Board," which utilizes wood CLT. The Hyper CLT Ground Board is a civil engineering CLT material that leverages the properties of wood and can be used for mud prevention, ground protection, and ensuring pedestrian pathways. The 5×10 board weighs about 230 kg, while the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of installation and removal. Additionally, it features characteristics unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and environmental consideration, making it a material that is easy to propose for creative suggestions in public works. It is suitable for sites that want to differentiate themselves from conventional materials and for projects that want to emphasize environmental and safety aspects. Recommended for companies aiming to improve site evaluations in civil engineering, it is registered as a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." Please consider revising your temporary plans or proposing ground boards that utilize wood. We can also guide you on selecting specifications and usage methods according to site conditions. We accept requests for materials and consultations for implementation. Proposals can be made for both public and private works. Please consult with us first.

The sheets used at civil engineering sites are important temporary materials that not only stabilize footing but also relate to the impression of the site and the ability to make proposals. While traditional steel sheets are common, their heavy weight makes transportation, installation, and removal cumbersome, making it difficult to differentiate between sites. The Hyper CLT sheet is a civil engineering CLT material that utilizes wood CLT. As a sheet with the texture of wood, it can be used in a wide range of civil engineering sites, including temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery scaffolding, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which helps reduce construction burdens and labor requirements. Additionally, due to the unique properties of wood, it can help suppress glare, reduce noise, and promote environmental considerations, making it easy to use for creative proposals and improving site evaluations in public works. It features a different appearance and functionality compared to iron sheets, contributing to site creation that takes into account landscape and working environments. Recommended for companies considering alternatives to steel sheets, it is registered as a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." We also accept consultations for implementation tailored to site conditions and requests for materials. Please make use of it for differentiation in public works and private civil engineering projects. We can accommodate sites both within and outside Okayama Prefecture. Please feel free to consult with us.

Under the floor and in the attic... "Invisible spaces" are being reconsidered now The environment surrounding the housing industry has changed significantly in recent years. Rising lumber prices, increases in equipment costs, a shortage of skilled workers, and prolonged delivery times are all contributing factors. These changes are not temporary; they are becoming established as structural changes within the entire housing industry. Furthermore, in recent years, the global surge in resource prices, the depreciation of the yen, and rising logistics costs have compounded the situation, leading to an overall instability in housing-related materials. The environment where it was once taken for granted that "necessary materials would be readily available when needed" is no longer a certainty. Additionally, the construction and equipment industries continue to face a serious labor shortage. In particular, the aging of veteran craftsmen who support the field is progressing year by year, while securing young talent is not easy. As a result, situations such as difficulty in scheduling construction dates, longer waiting periods before construction, and limited availability of contractors in certain regions are increasingly common nationwide. In the housing industry, there is now a growing sentiment that "construction plans cannot be made with the same sense as before," whether for new builds or renovations.
