Wolmanized® Heavy Duty™ wood offers widespread availability, easy handling and modification, long life, and low cost in a variety of highway applications. Treating requirements appear in AWPA Standard C14. Among the typical uses are:
Timber bridges
Wolmanized Heavy Duty wood offers rugged, long-lasting performance in bridges.
Guardrails, posts, and spacer blocks
Wood is resilient and absorbs impacts better than most building materials. Moreover, repairs and replacements are usually simple to make.
Signposts
For availability, ease of on-site modifications, and economy, Wolmanized wood is an excellent choice. Breakaway characteristics are readily created.
Lighting standards
This is a well-established use for durable Wolmanized wood poles and columns.
Noise barriers
Wood offers superior sound dampening.
Retaining walls
Timber retaining walls, in solid and crib designs, can prevent erosion while maintaining an attractive, natural appearance.
