The Coquille Tribe provided high-quality, Douglas-fir timber for the glulam beams used in the Skylight D roof of the new PDX terminal roof.

This timber is harvested on an 80-year rotation, meaning their logs grow longer to store more carbon than in a typical commercial forest. The Coquille Tribe prides themselves on the management of their ancestral lands on Oregon’s South Coast.

Zip-O-Log Mills milled logs from the Coquille Tribal lands into lamstock and then sent them to Zip-O-Laminators to process into the glulam beams that will span the entire roof of the PDX Airport remodel.

Zip-O-Laminators created glulam beams using timber from forests across the pacific northwest, including the Coquille Tribe and Yakama Nation. They produce high-quality glulam beams in exceptional sizes, including the exposed wood beams for the PDX Airport remodel, showcasing the magnificence of Pacific Northwest Douglas-Fir.

Herbert Lumber Co. in Riddle, Oregon purchased wood from the Coquille Indian Tribe and kept it separate from its other wood sources to ensure its origin could be traced. Zip-O-Log manufactured the wood into glulam beams.
