The nine -storey wooden building that revolutionizes construction: so it is much faster and cheap to build
This housing building project in Toronto (Canada) takes the advantages of the prefabrication of control panels. More information: the skyscraper that will change the construction: wood facade to control the temperature without spending energy
Wood is associated with weak constructions that are vulnerable to fire, but nothing is further from reality. The latest generation techniques have allowed the development of the CLT (acronym in English of contrary -conscious wood) and other materials that take advantage of the qualities of the wood to offer alternatives to steel and concrete and carry out lighter and more resistant constructions. In addition to its environmental advantages, facilitating the capture of CO2, one of its characteristics most appreciated by architects and builders is the speed with which it allows buildings to be lifted. The last example of this speed is the Hälsa project (which in Swedish means health), which will begin to be built in the coming months in Toronto (Canada). The building, of 9 floors and about 30 meters high, is intended for homes, and will be the highest of this type in the city, although it cannot compete with the highest wood skyscrapers, which reach 200 meters. In what can plant battle is in the construction rhythm since, according to the company behind the project, Intelligent City, the entire structure and enclosure of the building will be completed in just 90 days. This project is a testimony of how prefabrication can meet the growing demand for housing without compromising sustainability, design or quality, says Oliver David Krieg, president of Intelligent City, in a press release. Its mission is precisely to accelerate the supply of urban housing using renewable resources and industrialized manufacturing, while maintaining a high level of quality and freedom of design. The housing crisis not only affects Spain. It is a global problem that needs innovative solutions, and the arrival of new techniques and materials to the construction sector is an indispensable first step to facilitate access to more affordable homes.

Construction sector is an indispensable first step to facilitate access to more affordable households. along with the 3D printing of entire buildings, the CLT and other wood -based solutions, such as the glax (glued rolled wood), they are the strongest candidates for this industrial revolution. which will occupy the 230 of Royal York in Toronto. construction costs, as well as quantify the necessary materials and know in detail the carbon footprint of the project.

The event took place on Friday, November 14, at Estancia Ñemity, located in San Juan Nepomuceno, Caazapá, where agricultural producers, technicians, contractors, students and companies in the sector met to observe the forestry business of the future in action.
They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
Missions | New illegal felling in the Piñalito Provincial Park in San Pedro reveals the silent expansion of deforestation in protected areas
The advance of deforestation on protected areas was once again evident this week in the Piñalito Sur Provincial Park, in San Pedro, where the Ministry of Ecology and Renewable Natural Resources confirmed a new case of selective illegal logging. The event occurs in a context of growing concern about the fragility of the environmental control system in rural and border areas, where the scarcity of resources, personnel and logistics limits the capacity of surveillance against criminal organizations organized to steal native woods and market them on the black market in connivance with sawmill owners.
