I checked and per a Roseburg Forest Products booklet holes up to 2" are permitted as follows:

No more than 3 holes.

Square and rectangular holes are not permitted.

Does not apply for cantilevers.

Hole to be centered on height of beam.

Holes (if more than one) must be a minimum of 4" clear distance between holes.

Hole must be at least 2 1/2 times height of beam away from load bearing point

Can holes be drilled in a Microlam beam that is 25' long x 3 thick X 16 high?

As a roof truss/I-joist/beam designer, I can tell you that you should not cut ANY holes in a microlam beam without consulting an I-joist/beam designer first. Microlam beams are not calculated to have holes cut in them. This requires special engineering.Depending on the size of the hole and it's placement, and the load that the beam is carrying you may not be able to cut a hole in it at all. Considering the 25' length (if this is a clear-spanning beam) I can warn you that abeam designer is probably going to tell you to find a different solution for this issue.Hope this helps!

What is the maximum span for a 9 12 microlam used as a floor joist on 16 inch centers?

unless you got a great deal on them, it would never make $$$ sense to use a microlam in lieu of a TJI joist or dimensional lumber. . .microlam is too costly if you have them on hand, I would call the manufacturer. . .they should be able to give you the numbers or send you a book with the span charts
