Engineered Wood
Scaffold Planks



The manufacturing process is a high-tech assembly line
that laminates thin sheets of wood
veneer into solid billets of lumber
that are uniform in moisture content, dimension and quality.
Veneer sheets peeled from sec

ond-growth fir, pine,  poplar and

hemlock are ultrasonically dried and graded from strength. From there, the veneer sheets are treated with a waterproof adhesive; to meet standards. 
The veneers are then run through a continuous press that bonds the wood fiber and adhesive under heat and pressure, resulting in a billet (or block of wood) measuring 3.5in thick by 48in wide by 80ft long. 
The resulting billet is then cut to standard or custom specification. 
....
the process to make laminated veneer lumber converts about 50% of small diameter, second growth logs.

The durable scaffold planks can be reused on future jobs, .. "when the planks get too old to use, we sell it as framing material" Chuck Nacos says.
