With all this talk of infrastructure nowadays, don't forget that glulam is a great option for all sorts of infrastructure!
There are a myriad of benefits to using glulam in infrastructure applications, including by not limited to:
- Rapid installation - with the parts arriving prefabricated or in some cases partially assembled it cuts down on the amount of site work needed.
- Cleaner and quieter site - fewer trucks are required to ship glulam and there is far less construction waste.
- Made in the good ole US of A! The raw material is grown in the US and the manufacturing process can happen here as well.
- Renewable resource and embodied carbon - species used for glulam construction are sustainably grown and harvested. It requires significantly less resources to manufacture glulam than it does steel or concrete, and the trees hold the carbon they have absorbed for the life of the project.
From utility poles to salt sheds to highway bridges glulam can do just about whatever you need it to!
