Replacement beams being lifted into position

Wiehag reduces delay on “largest” glulam project
Published:  02 February, 2012

Austrian specialist glulam supplier Wiehag is pulling out all the stops to reduce delays on the UK’s largest glulam project.

Wiehag had to manufacture several 70m-long curved beams to replace originals which had been damaged on their voyage to Northern Ireland for use in the £40m Bangor swimming pool project (T&SB online January 19).

Johannes Rebhahn, Wiehag head of international timber projects, told T&SB all replacement beams were now on site and were being erected. Wiehag had cancelled its Christmas break to make replacement beams.

The project involves 1,500m3 of PEFC-certified spruce glulam.
