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.
Swiss wood protects the environment
16.04.2021
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.
