Wood-based heated asphalt (Harmony Road Wood) is an environmentally friendly paving material made by chip processing waste wood and thinning wood, then mixing it with heated asphalt. It is mainly used for park walkways, jogging courses, cycling paths, and some outdoor construction areas including parking lots. It is also expected to expand its use to general sidewalks in the future. Wood-based materials have low heat retention and excellent insulation properties, making them less likely to store heat underground, which is suitable for mitigating urban heat island effects. Additionally, by securing waste wood and thinning wood in the sidewalk area, it can help reduce CO2 emissions that occur during incineration. In other words, it is an effective paving material for combating global warming. Furthermore, its elasticity and shock-absorbing properties provide a walking experience that places less strain on the knee joints. It is a paving material that allows one to feel the forest even in urban areas, harmonizing with the natural environment. **Features** - Suppresses the rise in air temperature in urban areas - Reduces energy consumption during manufacturing compared to traditional stone-based paving - More cost-effective and stable in performance after installation compared to conventional wood-based pavements For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Tanaka Building Materials Co., Ltd. proposes to effectively utilize harvested wood as paving materials for the exterior structures of buildings, including park paths, sidewalks, and some parking areas. Thinned wood from large parks and street trees, as well as demolition waste wood from buildings, will be crushed on-site or at the Tanaka Building Materials Recycling Plant, processed into chips, and commercialized as paving materials. This will be used for the maintenance of paths within the park at the logging site, contributing to green recycling initiatives. It is also possible to use it as part of the exterior structures of buildings, including some parking areas. 【Effects】 ○ Fixing CO2, which causes global warming, in the paths when burned Preventing the emission of 6.5 tons of CO2 with 1,000 m² of paving (paving thickness of 3 cm) 6.5 tons of CO2: Volume approximately 3,300 m³ (a cube with a side of 15 m) ○ Waste disposal costs for harvested wood can be utilized for environmental maintenance costs ○ Crushed mulching is difficult to manage as it simply flows out into the surroundings ○ The thermal insulation properties of the paving material help suppress the urban heat island phenomenon, especially in urban areas For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Wooden heated asphalt pavement (Harmony Road Wood) is an environmentally friendly paving material made by chipping waste wood and thinning timber and mixing it with heated asphalt. After producing the paving mixture in a heated mixing furnace, it is transferred to an insulation box. The insulation box vehicle can transport the mixture over long distances while maintaining a temperature of about 140 degrees Celsius for approximately 48 hours, within an area of 100 to 400 m². The mixture is transported to the site using a wheel loader or mini dump truck, and it is spread using a rake. Finally, it is compacted with a hand roller or a combination roller, completing the paving. 【Features】 [Wooden heated asphalt (Harmony Road Wood)] ○ Durability: Comparable to conventional asphalt pavement ○ Elasticity: Moderate elasticity and shock absorption from the wood-based material, providing excellent walkability ○ Lightweight: With a low specific gravity, it can be applied in areas with weight restrictions, such as rooftops and pedestrian bridges ○ Permeability: Rainwater permeates through the pavement, reducing the likelihood of puddles ○ Economic efficiency: More economical compared to resin-type wood-based pavements For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
