Timber Titan
This storage facility marks a milestone for Western Archrib, featuring the largest glulam volume we have ever supplied to a single project. Wood is able to withstand the corrosive properties needed in this type of structure making it the best structural choice. Located on a reclaimed island with challenging soil conditions, it required expertise in long-span timber structures and precision fabrication.
Our Role & Project Scope
Western Archrib handled the complete design and supply of the structure above the foundation. We provided early design assistance, ensuring a smooth transition into construction. The facility features a remarkable 164-foot curved glulam beams, span 233 ft and covers just under 7 acres.
While we have completed thousands of projects, our experience includes over 50 large-span storage facilities, giving us a deep understanding of the unique challenges these structures present. This extensive background gave the client confidence in our ability to deliver on time, ensuring they could meet their commitments.
