Canada's construction news
DON PROCTER — A mass timber manufacturing facility proposed in Nova Scotia is discussed over a panel session at Indigenous Collaboration, a conference organized through the College of Carpenters and Allied Trades. From left, Michael Polak executive director Pictou Landing First Nation, Patrick Crabbe of Bird Construction and Mike Yorke, conference organizer.
Crabbe pointed out MTC will help the sawmill sector “to maximize value of its wood products” exported to the U.S. “There needs to be faster action by our post-secondary institutions to support emerging innovative industries.” He said the process requires manufacturers to understand “a lot of detailing, preconstruction and engineering. It is what limits a mass timber business here and is limiting a lot of untapped capacity.”
While Bird Construction is not an investor in MTC, it has provided support and it will be the GC on the manufacturing plant, Crabbe said.
