MULTISTOREY OFFICE BUILDING

In 2016, the country's first commercial wooden multistorey office building was built in Sydney in the district of Barangaroo South. This project marks not only a milestone in the history of HESS TIMBER but also in the Australian construction industry. The foundation for a trend-setting and novel way of building in the urban context was created. To meet the requirements of a commercial building with complex installation levels, HESS TIMBER has developed a new laminated timber beam solution using a combination of spruce and beech that allowed for large service penetrations to be formed within the beam profile whilst providing impressive load bearing capacities. In addition to intensive research and development work, HESS TIMBER's services included the manufacture, pre-assembly and delivery of components to various ports within Europe.

Architectural Sustainability

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.
