The High Level OSB project was unique in that it was designed with a 12-foot wide, continuous press, which remains the world’s largest to this day. The press and saw-line combination allowed the mill to manufacture a very wide range of panel sizes and thicknesses very efficiently. The project permitting, plant design, construction, and plant start-up were all part of the scope of services that are provided by the AE principles.
