"Shiga Prefecture Ground Improvement" Ground Reinforcement Method 'Woody Force Method'

Applicable to sandy and clayey soil in Shiga Prefecture! This is an ecological and environmentally friendly method that utilizes small-diameter thinned wood as ground reinforcement material for housing!

The Woody Force method is a ground reinforcement technique aimed at small-scale buildings, utilizing unused thinned timber. This method uses thin-diameter thinned timber of "sugi" (Japanese cedar) or "hinoki" (Japanese cypress), which is somewhat too slender for use as house pillars and has been largely underutilized, as ground reinforcement material for houses, making it eco-friendly. By applying anti-corrosion and anti-termite treatment that complies with AQ certification (certification for quality wood building materials, etc.) B-3 (outdoor product components) to the wood used as ground reinforcement material, we aim to further enhance durability. 【Features】 ■ CO2 Reduction - Does not use cement or steel, which emit large amounts of CO2 during the manufacturing process - Contributes to energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gases ■ Durability - By applying anti-corrosion and anti-termite treatment that complies with AQ certification B-3 to the wood used as ground reinforcement material, we aim to further enhance durability. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
