  • Opportunities and Regulatory Barrier for the Reuse of Salvaged Dimensional Lumber from Pre-1940S Houses
    Opportunities and Regulatory Barrier for the Reuse of Salvaged Dimensional Lumber from Pre-1940s Houses Zahra. S. H. Teshnizi GREENEST CITY SCHOLAR 2015 Mentors: Lisa Brideau & Hugo Haley “It has been said that our old growth forests still stand — not in our forests, but in our buildings. Think about all that wood, every timber that makes up the bones of our homes, our schools and our workplaces. There’s a lot of it, and it is reusable. ” (Delta Institute, 2012, p. 5) Executive summary One third of the total solid waste in Metro Vancouver, is Construction, Renovation and Demolition (CRD) waste. Close to 90% of the CRD waste that is directly going to landfill in Metro Vancouver is from demolition projects. Compared to commercial buildings, one-two family houses have been far less successful in diverting demolition waste. Wood is the predominant material in single family homes in Vancouver and studies indicate that most of this wood is divertible and should not be sent to landfills. Old houses are a valuable source of high-quality wood from old-growth forests. Despite all the environmental, heritage, and social benefits of building deconstruction and salvage material reuse (specifically wood materials), this is yet to become the common practice in Vancouver. To support the Greenest City Action Plan and the Green Demolition Bylaw of the City of Vancouver, this project aimed to assess opportunities and regulatory barriers to reuse of non- contaminated dimensional lumber from houses built in 1940s or earlier in Vancouver. The project entailed three components: 1. Identifying the quantity, type, quality, and salvageability of dimensional lumber in pre-1940s houses: This information was collected through literature review, site visit of a heritage house renovation project, and interview with the experts in the field.

  • Pure Catskills Wood Products
    Pure Catskills Wood Products A Directory of Manufacturers & Craftspeople in the Catskill Mountains of New York State Pure Catskills Wood Products is a directory for producers, suppliers, architects, designers and other buyers to connect with wood products businesses and related industry resources in the Catskill Mountain Region. By sourcing producers through this directory, buyers are promoting a working landscape of well-managed forests and a thriving forest-based economy that protects the largest surface water supply system in the United States – the New York City Watershed. Our “Green” is Blue. Forests cover 75% of the Catskill Region and provide a natural filter for streams and reservoirs that supply 1.3 billion gallons of fresh drinking water to over 90% of New York City homes every day. Catskill forests are dominated by a rich diversity of hardwoods including sugar maple, red maple, black cherry, white ash, yellow birch and red oak. Softwoods such as white pine, Eastern hemlock and Eastern red cedar also grow in several areas throughout the region. Presently, 85% of the region’s forestland is in private ownership. Therefore, landowners are encouraged to steward their land in ways that protect the watershed. Compared to regions of similar size, family-forest owners in the Catskills are following the guidance of a long-term forest stewardship plan at a rate over five times the national average. New York City-owned lands and state-managed forests independently certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) also contribute to the overall wood resource. Currently, over 250,000 acres of forestland in the Catskills are managed for superior water quality, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation and wood products.

When ordering flooring 5% - 7% more flooring must be added to allow for cutting and grading allowances. For diagonal installations add 15% more for waste. • Before installation inspect the flooring for any manufactured defects. Defects on the face of the planks can be avoided by trimming the plank, and the remainder of the plank used, this is expected to minimize waste. Any board deemed unacceptable should simply not be used. If there are concerns with the quality of the product, please stop installation and contact your local retailer. • Before installation the installer must determine if the environment and subfloor conditions meet or exceed all applicable standards, and are within the tolerances set in these installation guidelines. The manufacture declines any responsibility for failures caused by improper job site and subfloor conditions. • Once the boxes are brought into the home check the box labels to verify vender information matches. • Save a box label which has the product information for future reference. • It is acceptable to touch up flooring during and after installation with stain, filler, or putty • After installation it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure the proper indoor environment is maintained. Failure to do so can result in gapping, squeaking, buckling, or cupping.

  • Guide to Planks and Platforms
    PLANK-PLATFORM SECTION SSFI TECHNICAL BULLETIN Planks and Platforms: A Comparison of Advantages and Disadvantages When planning a scaffold job, among the many decisions that must be made is what to use to construct the work deck(s) on the scaffold. There are a number of choices – wood planks, metal planks (hooked and unhooked), composite planks, fabricated decks and fabricated platforms. Each has its advantages and disadvantages that must be considered before making a decision. 1. Wood Plank – available as solid sawn lumber, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), edge laminated plank and pinned plank. Advantages: • Can be used in different size scaffold bays by lapping end • Can be cut to lengths or notched as required • Can be nailed to if necessary • Easily handled by one worker • Relatively inexpensive • Does not conduct electricity • Does not retain heat like metal plank Disadvantages: • Maintenance is critical. Plank must be stored properly and inspected carefully for defects. • Planks absorb moisture, which increases weight and can reduce strength • Planks are flammable unless chemically treated • Chemical treatment can reduce strength • Spans limited to 10’ with reduction of strength as spans increase • Continuous work deck is not flush with possible trip hazards at laps • Limited widths • Generally not as stiff as metal plank This Technical Bulletin was prepared by members of the SSFI Plank-Platform Section. SSFI is a trade association comprising manufacturers of shoring, scaffolding, forming, suspended scaffolding, and planks-platforms. The institute focuses on engineering and safety aspects of scope products. This bulletin does not purport to be all-inclusive nor to supplant or replace other additional safety and precautionary measures to cover usual or unusual conditions.
