Project description

The supporting structure of the new building consists of a sophisticated frame construction, which in turn is composed of several layers of Kerto panels. The challenge in this project consisted, on the one hand, of the reduction of waste and optimisation of panel utilisation and, on the other hand, in the small cross-sections, which presented us with challenges regarding the creation of joints and compliance with crosssection requirements.
