With a height of 42 metres, the incinerator in Leeds is the largest glulam project in the UK. The assembly was divided into a total of eight construction phases and lasted from April 2014 to May 2015. To deliver all the timber and steel to Leeds, 72 trucks were needed. Usually, recycling and energy recovery facilities are built far from city centres, but not in this case. With this design, the internationally renowned French architect Jean Robert Mazaud demonstrated the functionality of wood as an ideal mediator in the context of sustainable resource management. The main building of the total of 3 buildings of the Waste-to-Energy Plant Leeds is 42 meters high, 123 meters long and 35 meters wide. The partially block glued laminated glulam beams have a cross section of 400 x 760 mm.
