In construction work, it is important not only to focus on the building itself but also to create a safe environment for construction vehicles and workers to move around. The Hyper CLT plywood is a lightweight wooden board that utilizes CLT. It can be used as temporary materials to support temporary roads, material delivery routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways, rather than as structural materials for buildings. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate depending on site conditions. This allows for the boards to be moved in accordance with the progress of the construction, making it easier to effectively utilize limited space. Additionally, the natural texture of the wood blends well with construction sites in residential areas and around public facilities, contributing to considerations for metal noise and summer heat reflection. The Hyper CLT plywood is a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system, designated as "TH-250021-A." It can be incorporated into highly public construction projects and exterior and earthworks, promoting the use of new technologies and environmental considerations. Wooden plywood, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, lightweight wooden boards. A new option for temporary materials using wood is available for construction sites.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs often change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which constantly carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks 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.
