Outcome
This award-winning project demonstrates the structural performance of MTC, including XLAM CLT, in the face of adverse conditions. It is testament to the strength and versatility of mass timber.
Supplying XLAM CLT and drawing on our expertise in MTC, XLAM supported project outcomes including;
-
- Environmentally conscious construction using MTC and XLAM CLT
- Reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable timber stores CO2, creating a lower carbon footprint than concrete and steel
- Biophillic, timber is beautiful, warm and inviting, creating a healthy workplace that improves physical and emotional wellbeing of occupants
- Due to cross lamination, XLAM CLT and other MTC structural elements are strong and safe while also being lighter – perfect for soft ground and for reducing the weight (and cost) of foundations
- Off-site manufacturing increased construction speed
- XLAM AirStairs (prefabricated from XLAM CLT) are time efficient and easy to install supporting rapid construction
- Pre-frabricated MTC is safer – with less processes being performed on site and a lower headcount, MTC using XLAM CLT and XLAM AirStairs reduces the risk and instances of injury
