Wood in transportation

The use of wood construction in public spaces and transportation is a growing trend in British Columbia (B.C.) and across Canada. B.C. has long been recognized as a transportation hub and a pivotal point for the movement of goods between North America and the Pacific Rim. Advances in engineered wood products, manufacturing techniques, and fire behaviour modelling have made wood in its various forms a viable material for use in large-scale buildings and non-traditional applications. With a growing portfolio of successful institutional and commercial projects, the province’s wood industry is now an acknowledged world leader.
