Hyper CLT flooring from Okayama, PR in the San'in area | Press release issued.

In rice paddy construction, ground conditions such as moisture-laden soil, mud, narrow farm roads, and embankments pose challenges for the entry of heavy machinery and the transportation of materials. It is important to secure temporary roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas during the development of drainage ditches, field improvements, and farm road construction. In this context, the use of wooden mats made from CLT, known as "Hyper CLT Mats," can be considered. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 version weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate depending on site conditions. As construction progresses and water conditions change, these mats can be flexibly used by replacing them in necessary locations while adjusting the position of heavy machinery and transportation routes. Compared to steel plates, wooden mats are easier to manage in terms of metallic noise and heat reflection during summer, which contributes to consideration for the surrounding environment. The Hyper CLT Mats are registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, and lightweight wooden mats. We propose a new foundation for rice paddy sites while checking the ground and load conditions.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply 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 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.

● 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 one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

On November 2, 2026, Kaitaku Co., Ltd. issued a press release regarding its exhibition of the "Hyper CLT Mats" at the OK Lease Co., Ltd. exhibition held in the San'in area. At the exhibition, many people were introduced to the Hyper CLT Mats, providing an opportunity to learn about new temporary construction materials utilizing wood CLT. The Hyper CLT Mats are a registered technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS program. The registration number is "TH-250021-A." We will continue to promote new options such as wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, and wooden lightweight mats to construction sites across the country.
