Stop replacing timber. Start building to last.
Last month, I watched a contractor tear down a 5-year-old pier in the Caribbean. Cost to replace? $2.3 million. The reason? Standard timber couldn’t handle the marine environment.
Here’s what most procurement managers don’t know: Greenheart timber has been protecting marine structures for over 200 years.
With a density of 970 kg/m³ and natural resistance to marine borers, it’s the timber that turns temporary fixes into permanent solutions.
Why Greenheart outperforms everything else:
✅ Natural decay resistance – No chemical treatments needed
✅ Marine borer immunity – Saltwater can’t touch it
✅ Weather-proof durability – Caribbean storms don’t stand a chance ✅ Cost-effective longevity – Higher upfront cost, 10x longer lifespan
The London Docklands still uses Greenheart piles installed in the 1800s. That’s not a story – that’s proof.
What challenges are you facing with marine timber in your current projects?
Have you experienced premature timber failure that could have been avoided?
