Wood is by far the best structural material in terms of environmental impact, as shown by a number of LCA studies. This environmental impact superiority can be improved if the longevity of the commodity is extended. The main durability concern in large cross-section treated materials is the susceptibility of the heartwood to decay, as it is not typically treatable using traditional methods. This can lead to premature failure, for example of Douglas-fir, pine and spruce poles, oak and hickory crossties (sleepers) and pine bridge ties. Traditionally these issues have been managed by high cost remedial treatments, or simply by accepting the short service life and the required product replacement costs.
