15th International Nondestructive Testing of Wood Symposium
Duluth, Minnesota U.S.A
September 10-12, 2007
This Symposium is a forum for those involved in nondestructive testing (NDT) of wood and will bring together NDT users, suppliers, international researchers, government agencies and other groups to share new research, products and technology for using NDT to evaluate standing trees, logs, lumber and wood structures. Networking among participants will enable new collaboration and implementation of NDT technologies around the world, while generating new research ideas. We are also planning a hands-on inspection of a Duluth area historic wood building at the completion of the Symposium, where participants will have an opportunity to use inspection equipment like stress wave timers, resistance drills and acoustic tomography while collaborating on a project to benefit a local organization by conducting a structural condition assessment of the buildings and trees.
At the conclusion of the Symposium, you are invited to take the time explore northeastern Minnesota, starting with our host city, Duluth. Duluth is home to a wide variety of exciting attractions such as the Canal Park waterfront, outstanding recreation activities and excellent dining. Duluth is a starting point to scenic attractions like Minnesota's Scenic North Shore and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Bayfield Peninsula and Apostle Islands in northwestern Wisconsin.
