PEMADE presents MCLam structural products to Navarre’s timber entrepreneurs

Professor Manuel Guaita, director of USC-Pemade, presented the model for the valorization of local wood in the structural products MCLam and MCLam BS at a conference organized by the Association of Wood Entrepreneurs of Navarra (ADEMAN).
In his speech, Professor Guaita defended the mixture of species in the same product as a way of promoting the biodiversity of the territory, thus stimulating the diversification of uses and the resistance of the forest to possible pests. The MCLam mixed poplar and pine product is a good example of this. The characterization of local species is also a challenge for the sector for its diversification and sustainable growth.
The professor also highlighted the importance of hybridization of materials in the same product or architectural project. In particular, the hybridization of wood and concrete is an efficient way to decrease the carbon footprint of the concrete sector through the use of wood and to use more wood thanks to the enormous technical advantages of concrete. “Together with concrete, wood will reach more construction sites,” Guaita argued.

Also participating in the conference were the Cátedra de la Madera de Navarra, CESEFOR, the Basque architectural firm Blanco del Prim, the Navarrese company Madergia and the Forestry Planning Service of Navarra.
With the presence in the room of the project coordinator, Antolino Gallego of the University of Granada, Professor Guaita has highlighted the importance of universities as public entities of knowledge to generate transfer through spinoff companies such as IberoLam Timber & Technology, created to market the products of the LIFE Wood for Future Project.
