Colombia Forestry Development Program. Technical Assessment of the Laboratorio de Productos Forestales (LPF) at the National University of Colombia in Medellin.

摘要

A representative from Wood Advisory Services, Inc. traveled to Medellin, Columbia to perform a technical assessment of the Laboratorio de Productos Forestals. All of the individuals who participated in the technical assessment were a pleasure to work with and demonstrated both enthusiasm and professionalism. I look forward to working with them in the future. The technical assessment was conducted very efficiently with full cooperation from everyone involved. The LPF is kept in a clean and orderly condition and there is plenty of storage available for the lumber. The equipment currently available at the LPF is certainly adequate to conduct a full in-grade testing program that would be acceptable according to the American Lumber Standards, however, modifications are recommended to improve the efficiency of the equipment and personnel so that an in-grade program could be completed in a timely manner.
