HESS TIMBER

PROJECT  Utilising advanced parametric design and 3D modelling, together with the project participants HESS TIMBER optimised material usage and minimised waste, contributing to cost predictability together with ISG as the Main Contractor. Off-site prefabrication accelerated installation timelines, reducing on-site labour and enabling early occupancy, thereby maximising long-term operational efficiency. “This project demonstrates for the wider construction industry that CLT and timber in general can be as effective as concrete in biophilic design. This will lead other clients to consider timber for buildings that they traditionally thought not possible in timber, therefore helping the mass timber industry and remove excuses not to consider a low carbon option for project developers and other stakeholders within the construction industry.”   – Rensteph Thompson, Managing Director at HESS TIMBER More Information about the project: https://lnkd.in/d6GmAUqi  Client: UCB Biopharma UK  Architect: Heatherwick studio; Veretec (UK)  Structural Engineer: AKT II  Timber Contractor, Supplier & Engineering: HESS TIMBER   Subcontractors to HESS TIMBER:  Timber Supply: HASSLACHER NORICA TIMBER  Timber Installation: L+S Baucon GmbH   Digital Planning & Parametric Modelling: Design-to-Production    The project has been shortlisted as a finalist in four categories at the Structural Timber Awards 2024: https://lnkd.in/gfVHqpR7 #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless #UK #timber #construction #architecture #STAwards

PROJECT The new Ede-Wageningen Train Station showcases a refined wooden roof with a distinctive triangular design. Comprising 23 wooden triangles, the structure is anchored by 27-meter main girders that provide structural clarity, while the smaller glazed inner triangles enhance natural light and openness.

PROJECT With the „Innovation Campus“, a mass timber multi-storey building ensemble with impressive dimensions is being built in Billund, Denmark: Various areas for around 1,700 employees are being created in six overlapping modules with up to four storeys over an area of 50,000 m². The building includes offices, play zones, atriums and a central PlayWay, which connects the individual areas and promotes dialogue. Green spaces and the targeted entry of daylight create an optimal working atmosphere. Our scope of services includes CAD engineering, consultancy for structural engineering, project management, component delivery with 3,500 m³ of glued laminated timber and 14,000 m³ of cross-laminated timber, as well as the assembly of the wooden structure.

PROJECT  Last year, the Eaton Community Library opened its doors to the public in its new location on Council Drive in the Shire of Dardanup, Western Australia. The two-storey building functions as a library, administration centre and council chambers.    HESS TIMBER worked closely with Constructive PD, to ensure the design development reached an optimal and efficient outcome.    More information about the project: https://lnkd.in/ehZPkk6z    Architect: Peter Hobbs Architects Main Contractor: Perkins Builders  Timber Construction: HESS TIMBER  Timber Supply: HASSLACHER NORICA TIMBER   Images: © HESS TIMBER | Tyson Infanti    #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless #shireofdardanup #australia

NEWS We look back on 2024 as a year filled with exciting challenges, new markets, and outstanding projects—from industrial and logistics centers to multi-storey buildings and complex free-form structures.

PROJECT A new railway station is currently being built in Cambridge to meet the growing demand for rail transport in the UK. The Cambridge South Railway Station will connect the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and the neighbouring town of Trumpington to the existing network and serve around 1.8 million passengers a year. A standout feature of the new station is the extensive use of timber in both the building and the platform canopies.

PROJECT Our logistics department at HASSLACHER NORICA TIMBER was once again able to demonstrate its ability to ship very long glulam components to Australia. As with our project in Mount Gambier, we are breaking another record here: the longest single glulam beams in Australia (42m) were used back then. For the current project, the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, the largest glulam beams by volume are currently on their way to Australia. Many thanks to everyone involved for their support. We look forward to seeing the new Aquatic Centre grow. #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless

NEWS Early in October we warmly welcomed our client from the Adelaide Aquatic Centre Development, and their project team, to visit our European factories in Austria. Sarah Constructions, Mott MacDonald and Standstruct spent several days touring our main facilities in Austria to gain a more in-depth understanding of our facilities, processes and people. The tour provided a full life-cycle of the Hasslacher Group, showcasing the vertically integrated nature of our business. After a nice introductory dinner in Vienna, we toured our project at HoHo, which, at 89 metres tall, was the world’s largest timber hybrid building when completed in 2019. We then started our journey through the life cycle of our mass timber products. First, we toured the PEFC-certified forest nearby our HASSLACHER NORICA TIMBER Preding mill, to gain knowledge of the sustainability credentials and the circular economy of forestry; where our valuable raw material is born. We then followed with a visit to our HASSLACHER Group headquarters in Sachsenburg, to visit the sawmill and showcase how the raw logs are turned into our visually stunning European spruce rough sawn boards, ready for further processing. Here, we also enjoyed our first of many traditional Austrian cuisines. Next, we toured both our large-capacity glulam plant at Sachsenburg, as well as our main Cross Laminated Timber plant in Stall. This highlighted the process of turning the raw material, rough sawn timber boards, into stunning products of high quality and precision. A particular highlight of this tour was the technology and automation that we implement in our group. Finally, we toured our highly customised plant at Hermagor, where we create our massive glulam beams that can be block-bonded, as well as our curved glulam which sets us apart from the industry. We were greeted with a traditional Austrian lunch of “Jausen” before touring the plant. This was our most important tour, where all of the material for our project is manufactured, including the enormous single-piece rafters. These beams measure a staggering 37.1m long x 2.20m high and 280mm wide, making these by far the largest glulam beams to ever be used in Australia. Stay tuned for more information on this! We greatly appreciate our client’s commitment to us, taking valuable time from their schedules to make the long journey from Australia and we can’t wait to see the project materialise onsite. Thank you Tyson Infanti for organising this trip and showing around our customers. #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless #AdelaideAquaticCentre
