Our Challenge
This project was a perfect example of prefabrication.
Techlam were excited to be involved right from the very inception, and worked closely with the engineers and architects to provide the best solutions possible. This project involved detailed hidden connections and highly visual glulam members, and incorporated other engineered timber products throughout the structure.
The Techlam Solution
This completed project is truly stunning.
With a fully prefabricated truss, purlins & portal frames by Techlam, and prefab CLT elements by XLam the Hornby Working Mens club came to life. Collaboration with all stakeholders throughout this project is what made it a success. All teams worked hard to complete this project to the schedule. Prefabrication made this possible with an efficient & seamless process.
