Coast and grow its value-added wood products business, all while continuing to improve Western\u2019s long-term competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>These capital investments represent an increase of $13 million over and above the $16 million of capital investments discussed in the company\u2019s first quarter 2022 management\u2019s discussion and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the investments include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$12.3 million in a new continuous kiln at the Saltair sawmill in Ladysmith, B.C., allowing for increased capacity for continuous drying of lumber, while reducing energy consumption. The sawmill is the largest single-line sawmill on the coast of B.C. following the previous multi-phase strategic capital investment of over $42 million undertaken to modernize the sawmill since 2013. The facility has three existing kilns on site for drying lumber.<\/li>\n<li>$7.9 million at the Duke Point facility in Nanaimo, B.C., to optimize the centralized planer facility with new equipment, including a machine stress rated (\u201cMSR\u201d) lumber grading machine. The MSR machine provides strict lumber grade quality control with known values for strength and stiffness for lumber utilized in engineered products, including roof trusses, glulam and mass timber. The sawmill and planer have undergone a previous multi-phase strategic capital investment of over $45 million since 2015 to modernize the facility.<\/li>\n<li>$8.3 million in other capital investments in the Company\u2019s B.C. operations, including new kiln control systems at the Saltair sawmill and our Value-Added Division in Chemainus, B.C. to increase supply of kiln dried finished products for customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Western Forest Products has invested approximately $29 million towards its B.C. operations The investments are part of the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to support value-added manufacturing on the B.C.
