Adam10038Ipe Notes:

From Solicitor:

"Includes many projects that are a part of the East River Waterfront redevelopment in NYC. One part includes a pier with a second-level deck that has approximately 96,000 linear feet of 3”x3” hardwood decking, and another 5,000 linear feet of hardwood decking on its lower level. In addition, we are using wood along 2,500 linear feet of guardrail and in the design of our outdoor furniture.

1) On the upper level deck, the 3”x3” wood slats are to be self-supported above nailers approximately 3’0” apart.

2) The pier is one piece of a much larger esplanade project, so the railing and furniture details and material choices that we make now will be applied to the rest of our waterfront designs.

3) We will also be looking for information on seasonal availability, lead times, and the cost difference between FSC certified and non-FSC certified products."

In answer to our question, "type of wood":

"Preferrably Ipe, but would also like quotes on similar types such as African Ekki and Tali, as well as the South American Masserenduba."

Look at all the money you'll save!
