The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has initiated various construction projects, and safety management and improvement of working conditions during the extreme heat of summer have become significant themes at civil engineering sites. Even as the concept of summer work stoppages spreads, it is important not to rely solely on stoppages but to focus on innovative temporary materials to improve daily site conditions. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials that utilize wooden CLT. They can be used in various civil engineering sites as a substitute for steel plates, including temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. The 5×10 sheet weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle with small machinery, which helps reduce the burden of installation and removal. Thanks to the unique properties of wood, these sheets can help minimize glare compared to steel plates, making them useful for heat stroke prevention measures and environmental considerations during the summer. Additionally, they are expected to provide benefits in terms of construction efficiency and site environment, such as improved transportation efficiency and noise reduction. As a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS "TH-250021-A," they are also recommended for creative proposals in public works. Please consider them as a new option for civil engineering sites looking to address heat-related issues, including summer work stoppages. We also accept inquiries for consultations on implementation tailored to site conditions and requests for materials. We can provide proposals for public works and private civil engineering projects both within and outside Okayama Prefecture. Please feel free to contact us.
