The Wesbeam agreement with the Western Australian Government to harvest this pine plantation provides an economic incentive for the Government to realise that commitment. Consecutive Western Australian State Governments have had a long-standing commitment to revert 20,000 hectares of the Gnangara Pine Plantation back to Banksia woodland. Wesbeam sources its raw material primarily from plantations in Perth. Research is currently being undertaken to assess if the stumps, branches and treetops left on site after the logs have been harvested can be used to fuel a wood-residue power station, which may be located near to the Wesbeam manufacturing facility. Wesbeam will partner with the Forest Products Commission and with farmers to create commercial tree plantations on their properties. Wesbeam will implement a comprehensive tree planting program ($1,000,0000 per year) from 2009. The bark is stripped off and supplied to mulch manufacturers for use in the horticultural industry. Wesbeam uses 100 per cent of every log that comes through the factory gates. By applying the latest technology and design to plantation timbers, Wesbeam is able to turn a low value wood into a strong highly engineered wood product that has a high load bearing capacity.īecause Wesbeam LVL is engineered to be strong and straight, it can be used as a replacement not only for steel but also for traditional hardwoods that are sourced from old growth forests in the South West of Western Australia, or South East Asia. Wesbeam LVL is manufactured from plantation timbers. Wesbeam's engineered LVL is produced from plantation timbers which has many beneficial spin-offs for the environment. To view the Chain of Custody Certificate, please click here. So Wesbeam customers can be confident that the raw material used to produce our LVL can be tracked every step of the way, from the sustainably-managed forest where the timber was grown through to its end use in an LVL product.Īs more projects mandate that only certified timber materials can be used, Wesbeam LVL's Chain of Custody Certification enables architects, building designers and specifiers to specify Wesbeam LVL with confidence. This Australian Standard is a world-class forestry standard that is endorsed by the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) scheme, the world's biggest assessor of sustainable forest management. As noted on the Certificate, the Chain of Custody method used by Wesbeam is the Inventory Control & Accounting - Percentage Input/Output - Volume Credit system. Administered under the Responsible Wood Certification Scheme, the RW Chain of Custody Certification is the only timber certification scheme that has an Australian Standard (RW 4707 - 2014). This means that the timber used in Wesbeam's LVL products is sourced from sustainably managed forest resources. Preservative Treated Technical Data Sheet Plasterboard Products Technical Data Sheet Residential Housing Products Technical Data Sheet Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) - H3 Treated SDS Sheet Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) - H2 Treated SDS Sheet Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) - H2S Treated SDS Sheet Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) - Untreated SDS Sheet When you specify Wesbeam's e-beam+, you're not only working with a great product – you're also helping in preserving our hardwood resources.Į-beam+ is available in lengths from 3.0m to 7.2 ex-stock with longer lengths available as special manufacture up to 12.6m. And because e-beam+ has a JD3 rating for nails, bolts and screws it's stronger than any imported LVL manufactured from softwood species. Wesbeam's e-beam+ is the only true F17 hardwood substitute which meets all the Australian Standards. E-beam+ There's no substitute for our substitute.
