In general, Wood is the great unknown in the construction and general engineering sector and in port structures, which is the area in which we at MSI move.
Knowing all its advantages is of the utmost importance if you want to guide our constructions towards more sustainable and safer solutions and reduce the use of materials as harmful to the atmosphere as aluminum., that has a CO2 footprint 164 times greater than that of wood.
Other benefits of using wood as a building material are that it:
- It is a renewable material that can be replaced over and over again if necessary.
- Your production is cleaner and more efficient: The optimization of processes in the forestry industry has managed to reduce almost entirely the solid waste of its production.
- His speed in execution: due to the lightness of the material and the dry performance of the tasks, the assembly of construction systems based on wood is faster than the construction with other materials.
MINORCA, A VIVID EXAMPLE THAT 26 YEARS IS NOTHING
In 1997, we were commissioned in Menorca to install several pontoons to moor the boats in the port of Mahón. thirty years later, these T31 model pontoons are still in very good condition.
They are an example whose structure is entirely made of Scandinavian pine and concrete floats, which demonstrates that it is not necessary to resort to aluminum structures to guarantee resistance to any marine inclemency.
