Moisture monitoring for timber durability research
Université Laval conducted a durability study for Parc du Massif du Sud, a regional park in Quebec that offers hiking, camping, and wood-frame chalet accommodations, in collaboration with Goodfellow, a Canadian manufacturer and distributor of lumber, engineered wood products, and mass timber components, and Latéral, a Montreal-based structural engineering consulting firm specializing in mass timber. The study evaluated the performance of various coating and protection systems applied to hybrid glued-laminated timber (glulam) beams intended for exterior exposure.
