Pressure Treated Wood Saves pier 39

Pier 39, a showcase shopping and dining center near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, Ca., formed of 220,000 b.f. of wood decks and stairways, is being renovated using pressure treated wood.

"We did two years of research, looked at hundreds of products and always came back to the same materials: pressure treated wood," said Joseph Smith, pier 39 pro- ject manager. "lt was the most cost-effective material, and it was in keeping with our turn-of-the-centurv theme."

The site was originally built in 1976 using lumber collected from old piers along the wharf in order to retain a pier atmosphere. But nine million people walk the boards annually, and in a few years the old lumber needed replacing.

The three-year renovation began in March, 19g6. as the construction crew worked each day from midnight to I u.p., removing 1,000 b.f. of lumber at a time, replacing it with 6x6 pressure treated stringers for the substiucture and 4xl2s for the deck.

The ACZA-treated materials meet American Wood Preservers Association standards.
