Attractive design. Solid engineering and construction.

In timber engineering, particularly for bridge construction, combining an aesthetically pleasing design with a structurally sound framework is top of mind. Glued Laminated Timber (glulam) is a structurally engineered wood product comprising several layers of dimensioned timber bonded together with durable adhesives. The high strength-to-weight ratio of laminated timber gives a lightweight, sturdy bridging solution.
