Longer is better at LP

Since 2000, Louisiana-Pacific has been busy expanding OSB production at its plant in Saint Michel des Saints, QC, by almost 12%, climbing from 450 ft~2 that year to over 500 million ft~2 in 2006. The most recent project was a 30 million dollar bid in2004-2005 to boost production and recovery in the mill's green end. The mill optimized log bucking to handle its supply of crooked aspen and birch, installed three brand new generation stranders from BC's Carmanah Design & Manufacturing, added a new Fuji King rotary debarker, and enlarged four hot ponds to handle the 12-ft logs the mill now brings in instead of the original 8-ft logs the mill was built for.
