Huon Wood Centre
The Central Wood Processing Centre
The centre is optimised to serve the purpose of excellent wood processing. It is situated near the Huon River precisely on State forest. The centre is designed to produce high-value wood and finished products that will serve different purposes.
This is one centre that makes for a complete processing procedure such that only finished products come out of the centre. The aim is to ensure that communities can get the desired value for their wood without compromising quality. This has not been the case for a long period, as wood processing can be quite challenging without the necessary facilities.
Wise use of wood is important now more than ever. There is a need to use wood smartly and make the most of it. This is one resource that’s highly valuable and versatile. Most households use wood for one purpose or the other and there are marketers who sell finished wood to those in need of it. This is a crucial process that should be maximised and that’s what the centre aims to do.
The centre caters for all that has to do with wood processing. The centre does this by making use of excellent technologies that make the process both highly efficient and fast. This makes the centre a force to reckon with when it comes to wood processing across communities.
The centre is also designed to utilise all forms of wood without leaving any behind. The centre will see to the maximisation of all pieces of wood. It’s a site where the wood will be transported to and come out in its best form. It will serve as a central site for all wood types.
The facility is also designed with technologies that can serve the needs of every kind of wood. Irrespective of the nature of the wood whether long or small, the facility is the right place to make the most of it without creating any complications. This way, it can serve the various needs of the community and offer all that’s needed to enjoy the community’s resources.
Investment-Ready
Plans have been underway to ensure the site launches appropriately and now the project is investment-ready. This means that all planning, proposal, and assessments have been done. As such, the project has kick-started and wood processing activities have started.
For anyone that intends to process wood at the facility, they will have to study the guide for operations. This guide details how all activities shall go. This gives you the necessary insights into the things you need to do and how to transport wood to the facility.
The facility also has experts working within it to ensure that all service offerings are at their best. There are various sectors within the facility and each has an expert lead that determines the best strategy to ensure effective services. The experts that work on the project have years of experience in this regard and can offer excellent services that will meet the demands of the people.
The workers also have a vast understanding of all technologies involved in the process and the best standards to work with. The facility prioritises working with the highest standards of safety and professionalism. As such, there’s nothing to worry about concerning the quality of service delivery.
The centre itself has a code of conduct for its operations. Every worker has internalised the code of conduct and must work according to it. This is an essential part of the recruitment process. This way, the centre is able to serve the needs of everyone that comes for wood processing.
The centre also seeks to house many wood processing companies. This way, the centre will be a central site with many wood processing companies from which people can choose who to process with. Currently, there are a few companies setting up already.
The centre is encouraging more companies to come set up their services and become active in offering the community some wood processing services. The centre also mandates that all companies that will set up must make use of the best technologies in delivering their services. This is to ensure that the services delivered are at their best.
The essence of excellent technologies to this process cannot be overstated. With adequate use of technology, the centre is able to meet its environmental responsibilities. Excellent technologies are environmentally compliant and will help the centre meet its pollution requirements. This accounts for why the centre mandates the use of modern technological components for wood processing.
Also, the increasing number of companies on the site will lead to more efficient use of forest resources. Firstly, the more companies, the higher the rate at which the resources will be sourced. Estimates show that there will be a 30% increase in the rate at which timbers will be sourced.
This is a good thing, as it means that there will be more wood products in circulation. However, the aim of the centre is not just to source more wood materials but to create more value from the materials. Thus, with the expertise of the workers and the excellent technologies used, the value is set to be achieved.
Environmental Assessment
Before a project can kickstart, there must have been some sort of assessment to determine the value of the project and the purpose it intends to serve. One of the key assessments for projects of this nature is environmental assessment.
Processing wood requires the use of machines and various kinds of technology to achieve excellent results. Wood also is a material that has a lot to do with the environment. As such, for this kind of project, environmental assessment is non-negotiable.
There must be adequate assessment of the environment to ensure that the project doesn’t have adverse effects on the environment. Without such an assessment, a project of this nature cannot start, because its impacts will still be uncertain.
There have been assessments for this project and the assessments conclude that the project is viable. Some of the things considered during an assessment is the value that the project aims to offer. This project bridges the wood processing gap across various communities, which is a problem that has been on for a long period.
It offers manufacturers and wood users the opportunity to make the most from their wood without having to spend much or transport it across various places. Also, the facility will ensure that all forms of wood get the required attention they need to make it to the market.
As against past times when certain kinds of wood are burnt, this will no longer be the case, as the facility is designed to be able to convert and process all kinds of wood.
Furthermore, the facility doesn’t have adverse effects on the environment. This is because it makes use of some of the best technologies that are highly environmentally safe. The technologies are optimised to process wood without causing complications for the environment.
Additionally, the site is built in a place that’s quite distant from the residential areas. As such, it doesn’t disturb people. This way, the facility doesn’t cause noise pollution, which is one of the things considered during the environmental assessment.
More so, the facility aims to serve a wide range of people. It is built over a large site and with many machines that will facilitate processing and production at a wide scale. This makes it viable for community use, as it will serve many people at once, thereby improving the time expended during this process. It will also create job opportunities for many people who will work in the facility in different capacities.
This is one of the key things that come with the initiative. Employment opportunities are crucial when it comes to projects of this nature. They must be able to serve the needs of the people and one of such is to create jobs. Since the facility is a large one, it will also be creating opportunities for many people, thereby improving the viability of the project altogether.
Completely Finished Products
The centre is designed to meet all wood processing demands such that the products that leave the market will be entirely market-ready. The facility will be built with excellent technologies that will make the processing faster than usual. This way, more efficiency is guaranteed and this can be leveraged to attend to all wood processing issues.
As such, when products leave the site, they will be finished and ready to be sold. This is a problem that has been existing for a long time, as many products leave sites unfinished and have to be taken to several other places before they are made ready for the market. But with this new facility, this gap has been bridged.
Also, the facility is designed to work optimally with all kinds of wood. There’s no type of wood you need processed that can’t be processed. The aim of the facility is for it to be able to meet all wood demands and it does this because it’s well optimised for the purpose. This goes a long way in improving the market value of the wood products and several others.
Currently, the forest is underused. This is because the forest is merely harvested for veneer logs, sawlogs, firewood, among other long forms of wood. However, the smaller pieces of wood are often disposed of or burnt. This reduces the overall value of the forest, as not all of the forest’s resources are put to efficient use.
However, with this new facility, all kinds of wood will be used for productive purposes. At the new site, the woods will be carefully selected for the major purposes they can serve. Production and processing will be based on the wood’s value and how best to utilise that particular wood to achieve its target value.
Wide Coverage
One gap the centre seeks to cover is the paucity in wood processing facilities. Due to inadequate processing companies, there’s a reduction in the coverage of materials that can be processed.
Mostly, short pieces of wood and some other types rarely make the processing cut. Yet, these kinds of wood have their value to offer. As such, with a central site with wide coverage, all kinds of wood will be processed and their value will be realised.
The facility makes provision for various parts of processing and production. This includes timber harvesting which deals with residues and logs of wood. The facility takes in timbers and processes them to become usable logs of wood that can serve various purposes. This will solve most of the problems associated with timber processing, thereby making things more efficient and practical for people.
Furthermore, the facility will be useful for merchandising through which logs can be further converted into veneer billets and sawlogs. This makes for versatility, as logs will serve different purposes asides from their normal use. It also covers sawmilling through which sawlogs can be converted to wood fibre and sawn timber.
An amazing thing the facility covers is electricity generation. It transforms residues into a source of electricity through which it powers the entire facility. This is a smart way to go about electricity and reduce the costs of energy.
More so, the electricity generated can also be sold to other networks for heating their timbers and other wood activities. This will also serve as a revenue generation means which will help to sustain the facility for a long period while it continues to serve the communities.
By covering a wide range of wood activities, the facility will become a stakeholder facility across communities. This is a great thing that the communities will enjoy for a long period. Forests are filled with lots of trees that are useful for wood making but require the best technology and facilities to make the most of them. As such, with this facility, all of this will be addressed.
