Timberlab

Oregon is home to some of the most robust forestland in the world. It is where our team started—building and engineering some of the first large-scale #masstimber structures in the U.S. Oregon is where we launched our first fabrication operations, continuing our mission of advancing this building methodology into every market possible. With each step of our evolution, we've identified pinch points in the mass timber supply chain and used our expertise to strengthen the market for glulam and cross-laminated timber products. Today, we are excited to announce our acquisition of American Laminators, a company renowned for its superior glue-laminated timber products, which have graced stunning mass timber projects nationwide. Since its establishment in 1962, American Laminators has been one of the premier manufacturers of custom glulam in the United States. They are known for producing the longest-spanning glulam in North America, with maximum spans of 130 feet. The Drain and Swisshome, Oregon locations have been operating for over 60 years, utilizing local Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine, and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, accounting for an annual capacity of 20 million board feet. Each facility will undergo operational upgrades to continue enhancing product optimization and continuing the legacy of manufacturing in these forest-rich communities. “American Laminators has a rich history of producing high-quality glulam products. Their attention to detail and the quality of their products are fantastic. Adding their team to our organization will continue to translate into value for our clients,” - Timberlab President Christopher Evans. We are grateful for the support and trust of our stakeholders, clients, and industry partners, who have been instrumental in our journey. Timberlab is excited to expand our Oregon operations and support the growing innovation for engineered wood products.

Looking to beat the summer heat? Take a dip in this community pool beautified by an elaborate #masstimber roof structure. Completed in 2023, The Rogue X Community Complex is a hybrid structure that looked to incorporate timber elements into the pool's design. The result is a stunning glow of local Douglas Fir that allows patrons to experience natural beauty and unique characteristics of mass timber typically not seen in this application. Timberlab provided mass timber fabrication and installation services for Rogue X with product provided by Kalesnikoff. The design underwent three iterations to achieve its final form. The initial iteration used CLT over glulam trusses. However, further refinements were made in the second iteration, where a hybrid truss design was implemented, incorporating bridge cables as tension strands. High-strength steel rods replaced the bridge cables in the final design iteration, allowing for a more efficient construction process.

Northlake Commons is a beautiful display of mass timber and one of the first uses of the building material for lab-ready design. The project's structural system is comprised of glulam columns/girders and CLT, while the lateral system uses steel buckling-restrained braced frames. 158,000 SF of mass timber will be used for lab space specifically. Mass Timber was ultimately selected in this application for its weight-bearing and vibration performance. Timberlab provided mass timber fabrication and installation expertise for Northlake Commons. This project is expected to open in late 2024. https://lnkd.in/g9gUE9uJ HessCallahanGrey Group | Dunn Lumber | Weber Thompson | DCI Engineers | Kalesnikoff | Swinerton #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #timberconstruction #glulam #crosslaminatedtimber #CLTbuilding #timberengineering #timberdesign #wooddesign #seattle #forestsector #forestproud #woodconstruction

Last week, Timberlab opened the doors at our East Coast facility to architects, engineers, and regional construction experts for in-depth look at Timberlab's mass timber operations. Co-hosted with Swinerton, our team took participants through full-scale timber mock-ups, CNC demonstrations, and an overview our regional sourcing methods. Since 2023, the 75,000-square foot mass timber fabrication plant has produced nearly a half-million square feet of sustainable development east of the Mississippi. Now operating at full capacity with two state-of-the-art CNC machines, we're now able to produce 1 million square feet of custom mass timber components annually. “With the Greenville facility operating at full capacity, Timberlab is equipped to exponentially drive the adoption of this environment-forward building platform from coast-to-coast.” - Christopher Evans, President Clemson University | Greenville Chamber | SC Forestry Commission | City of Greenville, South Carolina | Georgia Forestry Commission | South Carolina Department of Commerce | Graham Montgomery, PE | Brooke Whitsell | Samuel Dicke | Jared M.

Fabrication is underway for East County Library. The project is part of city-wide initiative to revitalize civic and library institutions. Since 2022, our team has worked on 3 separate Multnomah County Library mass timber buildings. Timberlab joined early in the preconstruction phase, providing expert engineering delegated connection design. The library features a plethora of unique connection details, many utilizing bearing shelves to enhance structural integrity. Fabrication, scheduled to span approximately three months at Timberlab's Portland facility, involves creating a variety of distinctive shapes and cuts, particularly in the unique column profiles. East County Library will incorporate roughly 1,200 pieces of glulam and 300 CLT panels. Mass Timber installation is set to commence at the end of July.

Monmouth City Hall was recently named one of the top projects by the Daily Journal of Commerce Oregon! The new 12,000-square-foot mass timber center will serve the community by housing its finance, civic, and government institutions while also providing a timber-rich event space. Timberlab provided mass timber fabrication and installation on this project. One thing I love about this structure is the use of the #CLT sheer walls. The building does not have a concrete or steel core. We worked with the design team to value engineer out all of the concrete cores and shear walls early in the project.  A big congratulations to the project team for this award. Great to see Monmouth, Oregon on the map for an amazing mass timber project.

Cross-laminated Timber panels are flying at North Plains Public Works! We're excited to be bringing the first #masstimber building to this small, enthusiastic community. The desire to make this project mass timber was explored early on as a structural solution in addition to its myriad of environmental benefits. Due to poor soil conditions, ownership wanted to explore how a light-weight timber system could help reduce weight on this structure. Not only was weight significantly reduced, but the move towards a mass timber system also reduced costs on the overall foundation when compared to concrete and steel! Timberlab, performed all the framing and rough carpentry, as well as custom glulam fabrication at our Portland facility. This two-story, 12,500-square-foot facility is designed to house the city's public works office and operations, providing a centralized location for essential services. Additionally, the building is constructed to function as an Emergency Operations Facility, ensuring that North Plains can maintain critical city functions during emergency events.
