More and more large buildings are being built with timber as a renewable building material. Timbatec is a leading, innovative company in this growing future market. We construct multi-story buildings, industrial buildings and bridges in timber. And we develop modern timber construction products according to individual requirements.
Sébastien graduated with a bachelor's degree in structural engineering and continued his education with a master's degree in timber and composite construction and a CAS in building physics at the Bern University of Applied Sciences. We are pleased to have won Sébastien for the Timbatec team and wish him a good start.
HC Ajoie is promoted to the highest ice hockey league in Switzerland - an entire region is celebrating! We don't know whether the regional wood used to build the new Raffeisen Arena in Porrentruy was the decisive factor. What is certain is that from next season, ice hockey will be played in two lighthouse projects: The Valiant Arena in Davos and the Raffeisen Arena.
After Rynetel, the Federal Roads Office "FEDRO" is already building the second wildlife overpass with a wooden roof near Neuenkirch. Timbatec planned this structure as sub-planner of the engineering consortium IG 2B with B + S AG and Bänziger Partner AG. From March 28, the wooden beams will be installed.
TS3 connects timber on the front side and thus enables point-supported large wooden surfaces. This technology is the result of ten years of research and development by Timbatec together with the Bern University of Applied Sciences and ETH Zurich. Since the beginning of 2021, a new Innosuisse research project has been running for the further development of the technology and its successful establishment on the market.
The new replacement building at Wehntalerstrasse 52 in Zurich-Unterstrass is erected. With the use of clay panels, sheep wool insulation, flexible walls and TS3 technology, the timber construction is highly interesting from an ecological and technical point of view.
Designing bridges is the supreme discipline for engineers. For a long time, it was the preserve of concrete engineers, as large bridge projects were built of steel and concrete as standard. Today, things are different: bridges are now built from wood. Learn more about this in our magazine.
Wood construction is gaining significant market share throughout Switzerland. There are good reasons for this: Wood, preferably from Switzerland, is by far the most climate-friendly building material. The timber calculator from KBOB provides the proof. A good example is the new Raiffeisen Arena.
Wood construction has left its niche existence and is becoming the standard. As a result, global demand for wood construction products and their prices continue to rise. New timber construction products are needed to counter this trend: Scrimber would be one solution.
What was long considered unimaginable is now reality: hospital buildings made entirely of wood. Right next to the Cantonal Hospital of Fribourg, a former convent of the Catholic Church was converted into a psychiatric hospital and expanded with two new buildings made of wood.
Barely launched and already making positive headlines: Johann Maître, head of the newly opened Timbatec office in Delémont, was named "L'homme du jour" by the daily newspaper Le Quotidien. And in GEO magazine there is also an exciting report on the new ice stadium made of regional beech wood in Pruntrut.
