Possibilities Expanding Through Joint Research with Universities | Hyper CLT Flooring

The Hyper CLT flooring is not only used on-site but also aims for further performance improvements through industry-academia collaboration with universities. To utilize wood in outdoor civil engineering sites, it is important to verify various challenges such as durability and water resistance. Therefore, Kaitaku Co., Ltd. continues research and development in collaboration with various universities. The goal is to connect research results to actual product improvements and new applications, evolving into more user-friendly and high-value wooden flooring. The Hyper CLT flooring is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." In addition to this NETIS registration achievement, research and development through industry-academia collaboration is ongoing. By combining the technologies of wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and universities, the Hyper CLT flooring further expands the possibilities of new civil engineering CLT.

In public works, not only construction quality but also safety measures, environmental considerations, and unique site-specific innovations are important. One proposal that is easy to suggest is the civil engineering CLT "Hyper CLT Mats" utilizing wood. These can be used for temporary roads, access routes, worker pathways, and material yards, improving the site environment from a different perspective than steel plates. It is also characterized by the ease of explaining the purpose of implementation to clients, such as measures against summer heat reflection, noise reduction, CO2 fixation, and consideration for the landscape. Furthermore, being a **NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"** by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is a significant point when proposing in public works. It can be considered as one of the new technology applications and creative innovations. Clearly communicating "why this material is used" is also important when making proposals to government offices. The Hyper CLT Mats, which combine wood, NETIS, and civil engineering, are expanding their use in public works as a new civil engineering material that balances practicality and environmental consideration.

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.
