DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER ONLINE FOR OUR DECEMBER MEETING!

12/3/2019

 
Join us Thursday, December 5th, for our monthly meeting as Mike Eckhoff will be presenting about Fire-retardant-treated wood and today's model codes. Recent national code changes, combined with the current construction boom, have increased the number of applications and the demand for code-compliant, impregnated with chemicals, fire-retardant-treated wood (FRTW). Through an AIA-approved (HSW credit), interactive, basic lecture supported by short videos and historical case studies, participants will learn about: The history of FRTW, how it is produced, how to identify code-compliant FRTW in the field, FRTW design values, and where FRTW is applicable per IBC/NFPA.

Participants will also learn about wildland-urban interface (WUI) applications via the 2018 IWUIC to increase structural fire resistance. 


Mike is a public policy expert with over 15 years of experience in the forest products industry. He has worked for both the Colorado State Forest Service and the USDA Forest Service where he shaped policy for the natural environment in response to the mountain pine beetle epidemic. Currently, he is a marketing representative for Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. He has delivered over one-hundred invited presentations on sustainable wood products, including FRTW, to firms, municipalities, and universities throughout the United States. He earned his PhD in Forest Science from Colorado State University in Fort Collins. 

Lunch begins at 11:30am with the discussion beginning at noon. We'll be at Cinzetti's Italian Buffet in Overland Park. You can RSVP and pay online ahead of time here: http://www.mokansfpe.org/calendar.html.
