GLULAM STRUCTURES

Each video shows a separate stage in the industrial manufacture of load-bearing timber structures — from lamella preparation and bonding to high-precision machining and assembly of complex connections.
All operations are carried out in accordance with project documentation and are subject to process control to achieve the required geometry and repeatability.

The blanks are calibrated to a stable cross-section. Defective areas are removed, after which the lamellas are finger-jointed lengthwise using structural adhesives to provide the required joint strength and material uniformity.

Timber is dried in controlled kilns to the specified service moisture content. The process supports uniform moisture distribution and reduces internal stresses before further machining.

Calibrated lamellas are oriented and bonded under controlled pressure using structural adhesives. The process provides the specified load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability of the finished elements.

Embedded parts are installed in accordance with the working documentation and specified tolerances. Their position, alignment and installation depth are controlled to support correct assembly on site.

After bonding, the glulam element undergoes final machining to achieve the specified dimensions and tolerances. Geometry, straightness and surface quality are checked before subsequent operations and installation.

Surface preparation includes sanding and the application of protective coatings selected for the specified exposure conditions. The coating system is coordinated with the project requirements and operating environment.
