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.
A natural, rustic look that can blend seamlessly into landscapes, enhancing or maintaining the natural / visual appeal of the site.
Components are often prefabricated, allowing for faster on-site assembly.
A renewable resource with a low carbon footprint (especially if sourced sustainably).
Lightweight compared to other materials. Often requires a less substantial foundation which can lower construction costs and minimise environmental disruption.
Can craft into complex curves and designs. Makes innovative architectural expressions and unique structural forms possible.
Lightweight and strong, providing excellent support without excessive material usage. Especially valuable for spans that require solid structural integrity and streamlined design.
