Wood Engineering with Jeff Langlois of Simpson, Gumpertz, and Heger

Today is part 1 of our sit down with Jeff where we discuss the challenges, intricacies, and benefits of designing with wood. We discuss in situ grading of existing structures, and adaptive reuse. We also dig into wood piles which are typical in our older housing stock in certain Boston neighborhoods. We cover the groundwater trust and their work to restore the water table and how to remedy the situation of damaged piles through the process of underpinning.  

ENJOY THE SHOW!
