Extension of industrial building Lanz-Anliker AG, Rohrbach

The project
Implementation In order not to place excessive loads on the existing roof, a skeleton structure was built, supported on five V-shaped columns in the central area. All other forces were transferred via the exterior walls. The additional offices are suspended from the new roof structure, so that the addition is two-story in this area.

The construction method
The construction planning was done in the 3D software CADWORK. Here, each individual component such as uprights, plates, etc. is modeled exactly and all machining operations such as holes, slots, etc. are planned precisely. When the 3D model is ready, 2D plans are automatically generated from it, which are checked by the designer and in some cases additionally labeled. The 3D model is then used to generate the machine data that the timber construction company uses to control its production machines. The designer at Timbatec "programs" the CNC machines of the carpentry company, so to speak. The extension was produced as a prefabricated building and assembled within a few days.
