Plywood Bridge Decking
Plywood large section bridge decking was first developed by Hancock Bros as a replacement for timber “rattle” boards on Australia’s traditional timber bridges. It entered the market in the mid 1980’s as a CCA envelope treated panel taking many years to gain market acceptance. With advances in preservation treating, in particular veneer treating, and bonding technology the product has evolved into a flexible light weight robust bridge deck panelling system suitable for road and rail applications a like. NiuDeck is a purpose designed and engineered heavy plywood decking system which is primarily used for re-decking traditional timber bridges. NiuDeck is manufactured …

CoreClad® textured, ACQ treated plywood cladding offers superior strength, durability, and reliability. With sheets up to 3 metres long and no requirement to retreat cut ends, CoreClad® is fast and easy to install. Plywood veneer is peeled from the log on a rotary lathe, dried, treated then manufactured into plywood by placing veneers in a perpendicular orientation. Sheets are bonded with a permanent phenolic resin which is commonly referred to as a Type 'A' structural bond. The bond will not break down under heat, wet, or cold conditions. The resulting sheets are then machined, rough-sawn, grooved and ship-lapped to form …

Case Study: From bridge innovation to the strongest residential plywood floors
New Zealand’s construction sector is increasingly being asked to deliver stronger, smarter and lower-carbon solutions. The SH26 Onetai Stream Bridge, north of Paeroa, is a practical example of what that shift can look like on the ground. A finalist in the 2026 Timber Design Awards, the Onetai Bridge replacement was delivered as part of NZTA Waka Kotahi’s Engineered Timber Bridge Initiative. Rather than relying on a conventional steel or concrete superstructure, the project used engineered timber beams and a structural plywood deck to create a wider, safer two-lane bridge with a 100-year design life. Important lesson For builders, the important …

Read moreCase Study: New Zealand-Made MultiStrut Floor Joists
After the US construction industry expanded by 62% and New Zealand and Australia were short-supplied IBeam floor joists, our team set about to find a clever alternative. Our solution was to invest in machinery so we could manufacture our own MultiStrut floor joists in-house with easily accessibly materials. We were up and running in May and a Generation Homes house was one of the first to use the new joists. Brent McMillan, the project manager for that build, said that reliable supply was only one of the upsides. “I’d heard about this product, but to be honest we first went …
