HESS TIMBER

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

PROJECT James Jones & Sons Ltd is building a new warehouse in Durham, UK. All our timber components have been transported to site. The longest beams measured up to almost 30m. You can have a look at the video below to see the installation works (by Glulam Solutions Ltd.) below. #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless

PROJECT  Goodman is developing its first mass timber warehouse at Chifley Business Park, located at Moorabbin Airport in south-east Melbourne.     HESS TIMBER is supplying H.Troon with approximately 1,450 m3 of glulam and cross laminated timber products for this new warehouse development.     Constructed predominantly from mass timber with sustainability, in mind, the warehouse will achieve approximately a 24% reduction in embodied carbon footprint compared to similar steel developments.     The architecturally designed facility, targeting a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating, will offer prime exposure on Boundary Road, where approximately 44,000 cars pass each day.     Key Features:  - Four units ranging from 3,500-4,300 sqm, with the ability to combine units to create larger space  - 99kW solar per unit  - Targeting a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating  - 118 car parking spaces, including eight electric vehicle charging points    More information about the project: https://lnkd.in/dv8kiJ-f Developer: Goodman   Main Contractor: H.Troon  Structure: Vistek Structural Engineers // Klopfer Dobos Pty Ltd   Timber Supply: HESS TIMBER   Architect: Michael Carr Architect  Install: Sventek Cranes & Rigging PTY LTD // Black Door Building Images: © H Troon Pty Ltd

How nice is it to see the blue sky and the sun's rays in an underground metro station? Thanks to the skylights in our wooden roof construction, this is possible at Anzac Station in Melbourne. #timberlimitless #fromwoodtowonders

NEWS We are proud to say that our timber construction expertise has now reached the industrial sector in Australia. The Goodman project once again demonstrates the versatility of mass timber components and the different areas of application. This opens up many more great opportunities. Congratulations to everyone involved! #fromwoodtowonders #timberlimitless

PROJECT  Designed with sustainability in mind, the new headquarters for St LukesHealth in Launceston, Tasmania, incorporates over 400 m³ of glulam. A key feature of the design within this 5,000 m² office development is the retention and integration of 19th-century warehouses, which structure the foyer and create a seamless connection to public spaces and the adjacent church grounds.  The contemporary tower, which rises above these historic warehouses, showcases modern timber technology while preserving elements of the past, such as the original timber trusses. This blend of old and new materials highlights the innovative approach to the building’s design, balancing heritage with modern architectural techniques.

NEWS WoodWorks NZ 2024 in Rotorua, New Zealand, brings together over 200 leaders in engineered wood design and construction. The programme covers mass timber technology developments, including Glulam, LVL and CLT, prefabrication and connection systems that are set to transform commercial buildings.   Our Director of Business Development for Australia and New Zealand, Tyson Infanti, will represent HESS TIMBER at the 2024 WoodWorks NZ Conference on 22-23 October and is looking forward to hearing the valuable insights from the presenters and networking with like-minded timber professionals.   More Information: https://lnkd.in/gJFB_7rv #timberlimitless #fromwoodtowonders #timber #event #newzealand

PROJECT Although the new station on St. Kilda Road is not yet completed, the canopy of the underground station can already be admired in Melbourne.   In total, more than 350 m³ of curved and straight glulam as well as cross laminated timber components were delivered to Melbourne, where they come together to form this unique roof structure. We are looking forward to the official opening in 2025!

PROJECT  1.292. That’s the number of individual timber components that were planned, thought through and optimized, produced and installed in Windlesham, Surrey. 18 months of design work, 6 months of manufacturing and 6 months of on-site installation - to name just a few figures for this challenging project. Behind these figures is a team without which a project like this would be simply impossible. Therefore, we would like to thank our entire team working on this project, all the project participants and especially UCB, Heatherwick studio and ISG for participating in a video which is intended to give a better understanding about this special project.
