It is easily cut to shape on site, and if handled and stored carefully, it can be used many times. Note the different thickness: A standard plywood thickness on site is 18mm. this is usually sufficient for most pours. However, if the formwork is curved, a thinner plywood is used to facilitate bending.

Learn about engineered wood’s key role as a green building solution. Green building programs and codes first emerged in the 1980s, and as they have evolved, so have their targets. The current building energy code only addresses operational energy but not the impacts of embodied energy/carbon in building materials.

The country is the world’s top importer of steel – with $29 billion of the material shipped into the United States in 2017 alone – and so it’s easy to see why politicians focus on this. This can help to reduce transport costs, cutting the amount of weight of material you need to ship to a construction site. It’s strong.
