When adopting new civil engineering materials for public works, important points include "what kind of technology it is" and "what the basis for its adoption is." Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering sheets utilizing wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS as "TH-250021-A." While NETIS registration does not guarantee or certify performance by the government, the fact that it is publicly available as new technology serves as a significant resource for construction companies when proposing to clients. Additionally, it is lightweight, easy to install and remove, suppresses glare and metallic sounds, and has features unique to wood, such as CO2 fixation. In other words, it is not just an unusual CLT sheet, but a significant advantage to be able to propose it for public works as a NETIS registered technology. Hyper CLT sheets, which combine wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, provide a sense of security when introducing new materials and are a practical option for on-site use.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods 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 Equipment 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 carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

The increase in inquiries about Hyper CLT sheets is significantly related to its status as a NETIS registered technology. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering sheets that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS as "TH-250021-A." In particular, construction companies engaged in public works are increasingly consulting about "looking for new NETIS technologies," "wanting to utilize creativity and innovation," and "wanting to incorporate materials that contribute to environmental considerations." The attention it receives is also due to its lightweight nature, ease of installation and removal, as well as features unique to wood, such as summer heat reflection measures, suppression of metallic sounds, and CO2 fixation. By adding the new option of NETIS registered CLT sheets to access roads, material yards, and temporary roads that have previously used steel sheets, more companies are considering its introduction in actual civil engineering sites, starting from the awareness that "I learned about it because it is registered in NETIS."
