Disruption Through Prefabrication: The Evolution and Future of Mass Timber - Nick Milestone, Managing Director, Steeltech Industries
Due to the lightweight capability and the advancement of the post-processed technology of both CLT and Mass Timber, when combined with BIM and manufacturing technologies, we now have the ability to adapt and create new building systems. These include 2D structural / load bearing thru-wall, roof components and 3D volumetric systems. In addition mass timber can be designed to take advantage of hybrid technology with both steel and concrete to create ultra efficient building solutions that has pure economic value.
