Mass timber construction depends on strict moisture control to maintain structural integrity, prevent mold, and preserve beauty and biophilic characteristics.

Exposure to changing conditions during transport and installation can compromise performance if not properly managed. Proactive drying and monitoring help keep wood within tolerances and protect long-term durability.

Know moisture content levels as climate and project stages change
Manage climate control equipment to optimize conditions for acclimation and drying schedule
Leverage trend analysis to inform jobsite activities and scheduling decisions
Create a historical record of how things changed overtime
Protect building and materials against potential leaks and humidity fluctuations

"It’s great to be able to show, without any question, that conditions are right. It removes any doubt and helps us keep things on track and moving forward.”

Joel Bennett, Project Manager
Hoffman Skanska, PDX Airport Expansion project
