Online event at Schilliger Holz
02.11.2020
The TS3 timber construction technology developed by Timbatec has made a breakthrough. Schilliger Holz is the first official CLT licensee. During an online event, the technology was explained and current projects were presented. Here you can find the recording of the event.
The TS3 technology is the result of more than ten years of research and development by Timbatec together with the ETH Zurich and the Bern University of Applied Sciences. Today TS3 is ready for the market and has been outsourced to a separate company.
After the welcome by Ernest Schilliger and Stefan Zöllig, Prof. Dr. Steffen Franke reported about the many years of research at the Bern University of Applied Sciences in Biel. He described the path from the "idea" in 2011 through countless tests in various test laboratories to the construction of the outdoor test stand in 2018. Franke concluded his presentation with a quote from Mark Twain "Someone with a new idea is considered a crackpot until the thing catches on," adding that the technology has arrived on the market and he believes in the success of the idea.

Innovations combined in one construction project
Stefan
Zöllig introduced the technology and showed exciting projects with the
TS3 technology. The latest project of TS3, a multi-family house in Thun,
combines much more innovation than just TS3: Here, the first cellar in
first basement made of wood. The building was designed with CATIA's "3DExperience" and is the Living-Lab of the
research project "DeepWood" together with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the BFH. In
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being further developed and adapted to the needs of the wood
and adapted to the needs of the wood industry. Here you can follow the construction site
