Our collaboration with the Czech Chamber of Authorised Construction Engineers and Technicians (ČKAIT) is continuing this year – by means of a webinar, we again got involved in this professional chamber’s lifelong education project and gave a lecture on impregnation of structural timber for 120 of its members. Among other things, we explained why it is necessary to plan on impregnation of wood as early as in the design phase, the purpose that impregnation must fulfil, how to properly impregnate wood and the criteria for choosing the right impregnation product. In the chat that accompanied the webinar, we also answered numerous interesting questions, so it is clear that the expert public is interested in wood impregnation and does not underestimate its importance.
In cooperation with the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers, we newly conducted the same webinar as for ČKAIT also in Slovakia. The seminar was attended by more than 80 people from the Banská Bystrica regional office. The segment focused on remediation of infested wood aroused the strongest interest, while the method and advantages of vacuum-pressure impregnation were also very appealing to those in attendance.
