Oppose Tall Wood – Vote No on Building Code Proposal G108

October 12, 2018 The Conco Companies  Announcements, Hot News

No on building code propsoal G108 - The Conco Companies

The International Code Council will soon vote on proposed code changes that among other things, would allow tall wood buildings to be built up to 18 stories, despite a lack of rigorous scientific or in-the­ field fire and structural testing.

Why should these TALL WOOD proposals for mass timber construction be stopped?

UNTESTED:  Wood-industry funded tests performed in the U.S. and Canada were completely inadequate, failing to examine real-world structural risk factors, potential firefighting safety impacts from weather, and material-related risk factors to public health and safety.

UNPROVEN:  While non-combustible concrete and steel have been used for centuries to build tall buildings and structures, mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber, are unknown and unproven construction materials.  View the Scientific Rebuttal below or download the PDF here.

UNSOUND:  Common sense knows, and history shows, that TALL WOOD buildings are high-risk and dangerous to public health and safety when it comes to natural and man­made disasters like hurricanes and wildfires.
