25th International Wood Construction Conference (IHF2019)

09.12.2019

The International Wood Construction Conference in Innsbruck is the world's most important congress for timber construction. Managing Director Andreas Burgherr inspired the numerous listeners with his presentation on the "crocodile".

With the transfer of the conference venue from Garmisch to Innsbruck, FORUM HOLZBAU has set the course for the future and new growth opportunities for its "International Wood Construction Conference". More than 1,850 participants from all over the world flocked to Innsbruck for the anniversary event of the world's most important congress for timber construction.   

Andreas Burgherr spoke about the "crocodile".   

Where once stood a reputable factory for locomotives now arises a new inner-city borough. The first of its buildings will be executed in timber and is named “Crocodile”. Covering around 30,000 square meters of floor space, it definitely will be one of the largest nationwide. In his lecture, Andreas Burgherr showed how the eight-storey timber construction is constructed almost without concrete or steel.

As usual, the congress was complemented by an exhibition, which offered 140 companies a great opportunity to present their products, services or technologies. One of them was the TS3 technology. Timbatec develops modern products and technologies. One of them is so promising that it was outsourced to its own company: TS3 AG with TS3 technology.   

We thank the Forum Holzbau Team for the top event and look forward to the next issue.
