Marine Timber and Piling
Greenheart Timbers has many residential and commercial applications. However, because of its high resistance to marine borers, fungi and termites combined with its high strength properties and availability in large dimensional sections, Greenheart stands out strikingly and is highly recommended for hydraulic applications and heavy construction.
Greenheart Piling is a product of Greenheart Wood – a distinctive wood with substance, grown predominantly in the tropical rainforest of Guyana. Greenheart Piling is renowned for its high bending strength and durability. Greenheart wood is infamous for its use in the most extreme of conditions, making it the timber of choice for both salt water and fresh water applications.
Variety Woods & Greenheart Ltd (VWL) can supply a range of species and dimensions for fendering systems. Hardwoods fenders are famous for fendering systems due to their strength, elasticity and long life. The Greenheart species is often the preferred choice because to its natural marine borer resistance, high strength values and long lifespan. VWL can supply the required heavy sizes for fenders and walers for the rehabilitation or construction of docks, bulkheads, sluicegates, wharves, piers and other hydraulic structures.
