| Ekki timber is so versatile in the construction industry, here are some examples of it being used for spanning the full length of a railway bridge in sections of up to eight metres in length. The timber should remain maintenance free for up to 25 years and beyond. |
No chemical wood preservatives
Of increasing concern are the long term effects of chemical wood preservatives like (creosote, ACA, ACC, Etc.) on the environment and public health. With ever increasing laws this can lead to civil actions for pollution to the environment. Ekki hardwood does not need preservatives and is therefore benign to the local environment, the workforce and the general public. |

| Ekki hardwood grain is interlocked and irregular, it has a course and uneven texture, this in turn gives Ekki a high bending tensile strength and stiffness, with a high resistance to shock and crushing. The timber is used when great strength is required, combined with the need for heavy wear. |
