Module 2: Production of Wooden Elements
The production section addresses the operations of factories and the processes that occur within them, including the transportation from the factory to the construction site. The factory introduction presents industrial production and covers workplace safety practices. The processes are discussed from design to procurement.
The second section details materials and their storage, as well as the various stages of production. One of the most crucial stages is quality control. The text provides detailed coverage of the production of elements and modular units, considering different parts such as walls, roofs, and balconies.
As the process nears completion, it is essential to consider where the finished products will be stored and how they will be protected from elements like rain. One of the biggest challenges for wood is moisture. Wet wood may not show signs of damage initially, but these can manifest later as severe moisture damage.
Protection is also crucial during the lifting and transportation of elements. Transportation considerations include the route and the width and height of the elements. It is also important to consider bridge weight limits, as trucks can sometimes be very heavy.
