Switzerland's first cellar made of wood
15.06.2021
Building construction makes a decisive contribution to achieving climate targets if it completely dispenses with steel and concrete. The next logical step is to do without these building materials in basements. Together with Timber Structures 3.0 AG and other business partners, Timbatec has built Switzerland's first basement made of wood in Thun. Now your opinion is needed. Take part in our survey.

TS3 long-term test stand removed
09.06.2021
The TS3 long-term test stand at the Bern University of Applied Sciences has delivered important results for the successful development of TS3 technology and has helped the technology to achieve a market breakthrough. Now it has been dismantled. In keeping with the circular economy, the cross laminated timber boards are being used to create a new object: two box girder elements for heavy-duty bridges.

First power-to-gas plant
07.06.2021
Limeco's new power-to-gas plant is making a positive contribution to the climate change. It will produce renewable gas from waste and wastewater and feed it into the grid from winter 2021/22. The new building in Dietikon is also exemplary in terms of construction: from the parking ceiling upwards, the plant building is a pure timber construction.

Timber construction work at wildlife overpass completed
10.05.2021
During several nights, carpenters assembled the 17.5-meter-long, 1.24-meter-high and 8-ton wooden girders. In the future, deer, foxes and small mammals will walk across the new wildlife bridge near Neuenkirch. This pleases the environment in various ways. Because the wildlife bridge is a real CO₂ reservoir.

What does a wooden building cost?
06.05.2021
It is generally accepted that timber buildings are better than solid buildings from an ecological point of view. The big question is: How do the two construction methods compare economically? The consulting firm Wüest Partner AG has evaluated eight major new timber construction projects of recent years. The conclusion: timber construction, the ecological leader, can also hold its own economically.

New Innosuisse project launched
23.04.2021
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.
