Did you know? Portions of a wood-framed structure that are subject to damage by decay, the code mandates that the lumber be pressure-preservative treated or be naturally durable wood or be of a species of wood having a natural resistance to decay. IRC section 317.1 lists 7 different areas where treated wood or equivalent naturally durable wood must be used. One of those areas is wood furring strips or other wood framing members attached directly to the interior of exterior masonry walls or concrete walls below grade except where an approved vapor retarder is applied between the wall and the furring strips or framing members. #BuildingCodes #TreatedWood #WolmanizedOutdoorWood #Preservative #BuildingCodes #TreatedWood #WolmanizedOutdoorWood #Preservative

Wood poles and the industry behind them come through after tragedy strikes. They are the workhorse of the country's infrastructure, carrying much needed utilities to big cities, the most rural locations, and everywhere in between. #UtilityPoles #WoodPoles #WolmanizedHeavyDutyPoles #WoodIndustry #Arxada

Arxada will join industry colleagues Thursday and Friday, November 21-22nd in Alexandria, VA, for the annual meeting of the Treated Wood Council (TWC).

Recently, our Conley, Georgia, campus hosted “Bring Your Kid to Work Day”. Many employees brought their children ages 6-16 to work with them. This gave colleagues the opportunity to show of their workplace and allow the children to see what their parents. The young visitors got to see some lab experimentation, toured the facility, and explored the transportation department’s trucks.

Did you know ... The most common species of termite in the United States is the eastern subterranean termite. The largest subterranean termite colonies eat about a pound of wood per day. Additionally, the very destructive Formosan termite lives in large colonies that can destroy a structure in as little as three months.
