S. Forest Service contract logging. The goal of the current research was to test sufficiently with a logging truck hauling near actively nesting goshawks to establish critical thresholds for distance and noise levels, as well as assess current levels of frequency/duration/timing, i.e., concentration of exposure. Collaboration with U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) and U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center/Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) brought wildlife and acoustical expertise, as well as sophisticated, professional grade, recording equipment to the project.

Bridge Engineering Executive Summary The Ministry of Forests (BCMoF) had previously commissioned Buckland & Taylor Ltd. to conduct of review of the Forest Service Bridge Design and Construction Manual and CAN/ CSA-S6-00 (CHBDC) to determine if the existing BCMoF Design Vehicle configurations are reasonably representative of the logging vehicles now being used in the BC forest industry and if these configurations are appropriate for use with the load factors in CHBDC. A survey of logging truck weights conducted by Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC) provided the base data for this analysis and the results of this study were presented to the BCMoF in a report entitled ’MoF Design Vehicle Configuration Analysis and CSA-S6-00 Implication Evaluation’ dated 2003 January 04 (draft report dated 2002 May 13). Although the report made some recommendations for revisions to the L75 Design Vehicle and corresponding load factors, it was concluded that insufficient data was available to accurately assess the L100, L150 and L165 Design Vehicles or trucks conducting movements of logging equipment. Although truck loadings and bridge design capacity requirements could vary significantly between operationing regions and individual operators, comments received from personnel involved in the industry indicated that most companies were having forestry bridges designed for load levels that exceeded the maximum measured weights of most of the logging trucks.

  • Log Hauling | BC Forest Safety Council Page 1 of 1
    Log Hauling | BC Forest Safety Council Page 1 of 1 Log Hauling Safety Alert Type: Log Hauling Location: 500 Road-east of Quesnel Date of Incident: 2007-12-27 Company Name: Inwood Trucking Details of Incident: A loaded tridem long log truck was loaded on the 500 Road. The road was in winter condition-frozen and icy. While coming around a corner on a 10-12% downhill slope, the logging truck met a pick up (empty direction) towing a trailer with 2 snowmobiles on it. The pick up did not have a radio. The log truck tried to slow and allow the pick up to pass, however, the pick up driver panicked and began to back up. The trailer behind the pick up jackknifed in front of the logging truck, blocking the road. At this point, the log truck driver applied his brakes, causing his trailer to jackknife as well. The right front corner of the loaded logging truck bumped the snowmobile trailer, pushing the pick up around. At this point the loaded truck came to a stop. During the investigation, it became known that the pick up was on the wrong road. The young driver had become lost while looking for a popular snowmobile area and turned onto an active logging road. He ignored the signs warning of radio use and industrial traffic. There was minimal damage to both vehicles and no injuries. However, the potential for serious injury was enormous. Only the defensive driving of the log truck driver prevented a more serious outcome. Recommended Preventative Actions: 1.

C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

  • The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in Northwestern California Began in 1850
    Paul G. Wilson The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in northwestern California began in 1850. When settlers first saw the giant old growth coast redwoods in Humboldt County they were in awe of them. These trees had diameters up to 30 feet and heights up to almost 400 feet. Old growth redwood trees are the oldest living things on earth; they can live about two thousand years. The settlers of Humboldt County had a respect for the redwoods; however, the settlers saw an immediate profit to be made. Old growth redwood lumber was used to build houses, railroad ties, shingle bolts, fence posts, and grape stakes.1 Redwood timberland in Humboldt County was located near the coast and extended twenty-five miles inland. The mills that cut the redwood logs into dimension sized lumber were located on the shores of Humbolt Bay. Humboldt Bay was a safe place for ocean vessels to pick up loads of redwood lumber to be sent to San Francisco Bay. Lumber vessels were often overloaded with redwood lumber. Because the vessels were piled with lumber, the vessels were believed to be unsinkable.2 Redwood lumber was sent all over the world for its preference in woodworking. In 1878 the United States government passed the Timber and Stone Act which allowed loggers to buy 160 acres of timberland for $2.50 per acre as long as the loggers "improved" the land through logging and ranching. Loggers acquired thousands of acres of redwood land and often formed partnerships to begin lumber companies.

  • Productivity and Cost-Efficiency of Bundling Logging Residues at Roadside Landing
    Original scientific paper – Izvorni znanstveni rad Productivity and Cost-Efficiency of Bundling Logging Residues at Roadside Landing Juha Laitila, Marica Kilponen, Yrjö Nuutinen Abstract – Nacrtak The aim of this case study was to clarify the productivity and cost of a system based on bun- dling logging residues at the roadside landing with the forwarder-mounted logging residue bundler. In order to find the bundling productivity, a set of time studies was carried out, in which several working techniques were tested and evaluated. The cost-efficiency of the roadside bundling system was compared with the conventional bundling system, wherein the logging of residue logs is made directly in the terrain and, after bundling, the logging residue logs are forwarded to the roadside landing with a forwarder. The harvesting cost (bundling and for- warding) of the extracted wood biomass to the roadside landing was calculated for bundling systems using time study data obtained from this study and productivity models and cost parameters acquired from the literature. The productivity of roadside bundling ranged from 48 to 53 logging residue logs per effective working hour (E0h), depending on the working technique used, and the mean time required to produce one logging residue log ranged from 83.6 to 92.3 seconds (E0h). The harvesting costs of the logging residue logs (€/m3) at the roadside landing were 11.5–13.7 €/m3 for the system based on bundling in terrain and 10.8–17.7 €/m3 for the system based on bundling at the roadside landing, when the forwarding distance was in the range 100–600 m and the removal of logging residues was in the range 30–90 m³/ha (m3 = solid cubic metre).
