In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas use wooden boards. Until now, steel plates have been widely used, but their weight poses challenges in terms of transportation, installation, and removal. Hyper CLT boards are wooden civil engineering CLT materials that utilize timber. As temporary boards for civil engineering applications, they can be used for mud prevention, ground protection, and ensuring work pathways. The 5×10 board weighs about 230 kg, and 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 on-site work and promotes labor savings. Additionally, as a material, it is easy to propose in terms of environmental considerations such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation, thanks to the characteristics of wood. In public works, it can also be utilized as a material for creative ideas and safety measures. Hyper CLT boards are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering wooden boards, wooden temporary materials, civil engineering applications, and civil engineering CLT. We also accept consultations for implementation tailored to site conditions and requests for materials. Please consider them as an alternative to steel plates for public works and private civil engineering projects. We can also make proposals for sites inside and outside Okayama Prefecture.
