Laminated Wood Flights were designed to withstand the harsh environment and loads found in Primary settling tanks. ln fact, this environment actually helps in many ways to enhance the performance of our Flights. Many of the chemicals found in waste treatment and petro-chemical plants can actually help preserve the wood. Water can also help aid in its longevity. Wood, when in a continuously submersed environment will not rot or decay because of the absence of oxygen required to propagate fungi. Wood is also resistant to abrasion. Have you ever tried to sand wet wood?
The inherent strength of wood is such that it will yield up to 1OO% increase in design strength due to impact loads. A case in point was the sudden and drastic loads that resulted in far greater stresses than the design criteria for the primary tanks in New York City after the 911 disaster. Much of the water used to douse the flames and to cool down the site went into the storm water system carrying ash and grit creating untold loads in the primary tanks. Timber Forest Products Laminated Flights were the only part of the system that did not fail. A dramatic testament to our ability to withstand this type of unknown and unanticipated loads.
