With the canopy of Anzac Station, a new timber construction project of a unique kind is currently being built in Melbourne, Australia. The impressive torus shaped canopy consists of curved glulam beams in a diagrid pattern supported on structural steel v-prop columns.
The roof structure is over 80 m long and will cover the entrance to a new underground train station. Construction consists of curved glulam beams, some over 20 m long, which have been transported to site in one piece via our long beam special transport. HESS TIMBER will supply over 350 m³ of curved and straight glulam sections, along with the CLT roofing panels and the structural connection systems for installation.
