Overview

Why timber structures from LIGNA systems?

Our timber structures are based on a proven system construction method that combines flexibility and stability. For every requirement we choose the right structural form, from the three-hinged frame and the solid-web girder to the truss girder, with clear spans of up to 70 m. Thanks to the predictable fire behaviour of timber, fire resistances of up to R60 can be achieved economically. You benefit from high cost efficiency and short construction times, planned precisely and integrated to fit your building project.

Highlights

Industrial hall in timber with an exposed structure

The right structural form

Three-hinged frame, truss girder or solid-web girder. We choose the structure that suits your building geometry, not the other way round.

Timber building with an integrated intermediate floor, Falkemedia media house

Integrated intermediate floors

As a joist floor or a solid timber floor, planned directly into the structure. Office or storage level, without a separate trade.

Yellow overhead bridge crane on its runway, carried by the timber structure of a commercial hall, with timber columns and roof beams

Integrated crane runways

In timber or steel, planned and delivered along with the rest. The loads run cleanly into the main structure.

Charred timber beam: protective charring layer on the outside, load-bearing timber core intact on the inside

Predictable fire behaviour

Timber burns slowly and predictably: it forms a protective charring layer around the load-bearing core, and the cross-section retains a defined load-bearing capacity. Thanks to this fire behaviour, fire resistances of up to R60 can be achieved economically, where the industrial construction directive requires them for larger fire compartments.
