Laminate, Sandwich, and Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Structures

The recent trend in high-rise construction is clearly dominated by timber as the most ecological and environmentally friendly material. The project promoter Nexity is firmly committed to using constructive solutions with multiple labels and certifications in order to reduce carbon emissions and has therefore already built several commercial and office buildings using timber. These include Palazzo Meridia in Nice. This is currently the tallest CLT office building in France. The Dlubal customer CBS-Lifteam was responsible for the planning, supply, and installation of the timber structure.

An extraordinary project was born when the architectural office of bergmeister-wolf designed a new workshop for wood carving art in Val Gardena, South Tyrol. As the triangulated facade could be used only partially for load application, the building represented a great challenge for the responsible timber construction engineer. However, the Dlubal customer Schrentewein & Partner mastered this task by primarily using the inner parts of the building for load transfer.
