It was great to connect with the local construction and engineering community and represent @AstraPacifica at the "Beam There, Done That: Mass Timber Connections" event at Steamworks in Vancouver, BC. Hosted by the Canadian Wood Council, the gathering was a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities in mass timber construction.

A few great presentations covered:

Preventing Hydrogen Embrittlement (https://lnkd.in/gjjamnSd) and Efficient Connection Design.

As well as the latest CSA Standard (CSA O86: Engineering Design in Wood): Great insights into the newest revisions affecting wood design and construction. More info here: CSA O86:24 https://lnkd.in/gU4cU95h

Kudos to the organizers for pioneering sustainable building practices and facilitating great event!
