Get ready! Phase 1 of Portland International Airport is opening on August 14th, 2024. The massive 9-acre redevelopment utilizes #masstimber in an unprecedented application. Totaling 3.5 million board feet, the roof is comprised of 80-foot-long glulam beams and 35,000 pieces of intricately fabricated lattice. This project team worked closely with regional suppliers across 10 forests to promote local economic development and sustainable forestry practices. Live trees and flora intertwined with beautiful wood textures create a deep, immersive connection to nature. The intent is to let visitors feel as if they are walking through the iconic forests of the Pacific Northwest. Timberlab provided procurement strategy, custom fabrication, and mass timber installation expertise.

The Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis is undergoing a transformation, with a new mass timber building as part of its redevelopment. The project embraces regional mass timber with a sustainable supply of southern yellow pine. Timberlab's east coast team is engineering every timber member and connection on this project, which is quite an undertaking for a building that will use over 1,200 pieces of glulam and 88,000 total square feet of timber. This quantity is necessitated by the extensive green terrace roof and accompanying rooftop pavilion, which places significant loads on the structure and requires a dense member layout of Southern Yellow Pine beams while maintaining an open column grid for the gallery space below. The project team is pursuing LEED certification and supplying SFI-certified products for the Brooks Museum of Art. * Bonus * The museum is only a few blocks from another Timberlab project, the Sunset Canopy, at the newly redesigned Tom Lee Park.

One of the benefits of mass timber construction is that it significantly reduces noise and disruptions compared to traditional building methods. As a prefabricated kit-of-parts, the timber components can be installed much faster and seamlessly. This quieter and more efficient process is particularly beneficial for sensitive environments like college campuses, where minimizing disturbances is crucial to maintaining a conducive atmosphere for learning. Timberlab recently completed the mass timber fabrication and construction for CSU Chico's University Services Building, the first mass timber building in the California State University system. The two-story, 22,132-square-foot center will house the Facilities Management and Services, Environmental Health and Safety, and Risk Management departments. The mass timber system reduces the project’s carbon footprint while providing structural support and retaining its natural interior finish. Other resource-saving features include daylit workspaces and interior layout flexibility, contributing to biophilic interior design.

Ever wonder how safe exterior wall cross-laminated timber panels can perform in a fire? Our team worked with a coalition of mass timber leaders to find this out! In 2022, Timberlab, Mithun, Arup, SmartLam North America™, ROCKWOOL Group, and Rothoblaas conducted NFPA 285 fire testing on exterior cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels to evaluate their performance under fire exposure conditions. The NFPA test is an industry-standard method for assessing the fire propagation characteristics of exterior wall assemblies that contain combustible components. This test aimed to verify the safety and resilience of CLT when used in these exterior applications. The results demonstrated that the panels effectively resisted fire spread, meeting the necessary fire safety code standards. "The fire test requires a two-story wall test assembly with a window opening in the lower room. The test includes the use of two separate gas burners. One is located within the lower story room and ignites at the start of the test. This burner provides a simulated interior fire that replicates the ASTM E119 Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials fire curve that is used to determine fire resistance. After five minutes of testing, a second gas burner is ignited outside the window to simulate large external flames. This protocol is to replicate a fire that starts internally, breaches a window or wall, and then grows on the exterior face of the building." - WoodWorks (NFPA 285 Test Summary, 2023) Hans-Erik Blomgren PE SE | David Barber | Joseph Swain | Scott Breneman Timberlab: https://lnkd.in/gMGph-Eq WoodWorks: https://lnkd.in/e9XZs6U9 Images by Erika Edwards #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #crosslaminatedtimber #clt #cltbuilding #woodengineering #firetest #wooddesign #timberdesign #timberengineering #timberindustry #woodbuilding #forestnetwork

Faces of Timberlab: Mariana Rehacek "Mass Timber is doing something really groundbreaking for the construction industry, and having a front seat is electrifying. As our digital construction capacities continue to expand at Timberlab, I am eager to leverage the skills and knowledge I have gained throughout my career to advance the use of mass timber in the United States. I'm excited to be a part of an industry that is moving forward and involved in creating a worthwhile and beautiful built environment. While momentous projects continue to come across our desks (and screens), establishing standardized digital construction procedures has been—and will remain—a thrilling challenge." - Mariana Rehacek, Lead Digital Construction Engineer Timberlab.com/careers #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #digitalconstruction #architecture #design #timberdesign #timberconstruction #wooddesign #woodbuilding #timberengineering #timberstructure #crosslaminatedtimber #clt #cltbuilding #glulam #forestsector #forestindustry #forestproud

A new gateway to the Pacific Northwest opens this week. In just a few hours, Portland International Airport will unveil its new 9-acre #masstimber roof to the world. This project is a culmination of best-in-class timber design, engineering, and construction. It is also the outcome of all the brilliant leaders in sustainable forestry and timber production who helped make it possible. When you walk through the new PDX airport, you get lost in the intricate detail and craftsmanship of such an immense space. According to the Port of Portland, nearly 30,000 different hands touched this project throughout its creation. Our team is proud to be a part of that story. The opening of this terminal marks a new chapter for the region and a new standard for aviation. "A moment we have been working on for 4 years. It was surreal to be in the company of all those who made this project possible. Many memories were shared, and I look forward to the millions of passengers who will create their own memories as they travel through PDX." - Rose Boleen, Timberlab "We have 121 mass timber buildings and 43 more that are in design right now. Why is this important? Mass timber traps carbon, and we have to store that carbon. Mass timber uses less energy than concrete and steel to construct buildings and is resilient against seismic and fire. There are a lot of wins represented by this project—well done, Oregon." - Senator Jeff Merkley Jared M.
