Epoxy Injection of Glu-Lam Arches
The Problem
Weather exposed glu-lam arches was causing wood rotting and deterioration at the
glue lamination locations.
The Solution
First, holes were drilled at rotting wood locations. Various spacing and depths
were used to insure penetration of the rotten wood. Injection points and sealer
material were set along the lamination lines and at the rot locations. Epoxy was
injected to refusal. This re-established the integrity of the arches. Finally, new
flashing piece was installed to protect against future deterioration.
