Coming to a Town Near You...Detec Systems actively participates in industry events and tradeshows in most major cities along the West Coast and select areas of North America. There are numerous and varied types of construction materials in use today. Moisture affects all materials differently; as well mould grows on some materials more consistently than on others. Different materials require different methods to control moisture and mould problems. New advanced electronic monitoring systems provide critical information on moisture levels that enable proper risk assessment and a proactive approach to building maintenance. This session brings together a panel of experts to discuss these issues with respect to some of the most common construction materials in use today in British Columbia including dimensioned and engineered wood products, structural board and plywood, Gypsum wall boards, Exterior Sheathings and their paperless alternatives, cement and masonry, and building wraps used for air and vapor barriers. Roofing issues will be addressed including wind uplift test at FM, the acoustics, underlayments, overlayment to meet UL classifications, and moisture resistance.
Speakers: Kurt A Larson, District Manager for Greater Northwest, Georgia Pacific Duncan Townsend, Vice President, Detec Systems Ltd. |
