Slide 11: Simple Glued-Laminated
Point n° 1 Simple Glued-Laminated Untreated Scotch Pine Skills at the Heart of Nature 11
Slide 12: The choice of a simple glued-laminated technology
The choice of a simple glued-laminated technology The geometry of all our products is directly obtained from a beam of glued- laminated wood: A square section is worked as is. The two external planks are turned heart side outwards A round section is in order to prevent surface machined to cracks due
Slide 13: Characteristics of glued-laminated timber
Characteristics of glued-laminated timber: • Service class (1;2;3;4) in compliance with standard EN350 • a GL strength class in compliance with standard EN386 • Type I or II adhesive (glue) in compliance with standards EN301 & 302 13
Slide 14: Constraints due to the use of our products
Constraints due to the use of our products The En 350 standard provides a classification according to the product location and the potential risks of biological attack. Class 1 - Timber off the ground and protected (dry) Class 2 - Timber off the ground and protected (sometimes damp) Class 3 – Timber
Slide 15: Glulam GL28h
Point n° 2 Glulam GL28h: A Certified High Grade Glued-Laminated Timber Skills at the Heart of Nature 15
Slide 16: Why choose a GL28h quality?
Why choose a GL28h quali ty? The EN386 standard provides a classification according to strength characteristics: GL* (*Deflection, Tension, Compression and Density) There are various glulam strengths: GL22, GL24, GL28 and GL32 (in order of increasing strength). The planks used for manufacturing this
Slide 17: Why choose this plank quality?
…why choose this plank quality? The EN 338 strength class is, amongst others, conditional to the quality of the planks making up the Glulam. These qualities are classified in C18, C24, C30 and C40 in order of increasing strength. Each class is defined by mechanical characteristics (widths of growth
Slide 18: White Glue
Point n° 3 White Glue Skills at the Heart of Nature 18
Slide 19: Selecting a white glue
Selecting a white glue Standards EN 301 & EN 302 classify glues into two categories (I and II) according to different criteria* (outside temperature and maximum moisture content for the wood during use…) Given our category 3 service class, only type I glues are suitable. • Resorcinol (2 types availa

Slide 28: Environmental Degradation Factors
Environmental Degradation Factors Each product has an impact on the environment during manufacturing. These degradation factors can be measured as part of a study called a product Life Cycle Analysis There are many different impacts (intensification of greenhouse gases otherwise called CO2 balance,
Slide 29: What is a Carbon Balance?
What i s a Carbon Balance? A study for quantifying the production of greenhouse gases over the entire Life Cycle of a product, from extraction of raw material to its recycle at the End of its Life. Certifying body: REJLERS (guarantees the Valmont approach) Main greenhouse gases (GHG): • Water vapour
Slide 30: Continuous improvement policy
Continuous improvement policy Objective: • Minimise the carbon footprint of a product from its manufacture • Reduce the carbon footprint as technology improves However, any production will generate some residual degradation factors. Valmont is committed to compensating the remaining Carbon Footprint
Slide 31: The ZEP programme
The ZEP programme A partner: the Trees for Travel association. http://www.treesfortravel.info A process: a percentage proportional to the Carbon Footprint of the product is taken from the sale of each pole and given to this association. These funds are used for a Jatropha Shrub Planting Programme in
