Interested in learning more about mass timber design and modern timber connection systems?
We’ve organized an educational event specifically for timber engineers interested in structural design of mass timber components and timber connection systems. This is an opportunity to learn about new research completed with local universities and explore interesting timber projects through interactive design sessions and live testing demonstrations. Enjoy delicious food and refreshing beer from local breweries while you network with other like-minded engineers.
This particular event will focus on mass timber connection systems and their performance in modern structures.

Heavy Timber Budgeting
Andre Lema – Business Development, Western Archrib
Understanding the cost drivers in a heavy timber framing system can be simple and complicated. Glulam can be made into many different shapes and sizes and the cost implications can be missed. It can be difficult to understand why one system costs more than another. How much impact do coatings have on the overall package cost? When should one system be chosen over another? Understand the design choice implications before a tender closes. Use glulam to gain maximum exposure without stepping outside your budget.
We will investigate the different options for connecting timber, material choices, and tools to choose the best system for the application.

Timber as a Structural Material – Using it effectively
Robin Zirnhelt, P.Eng – Senior Project Manager and Lead – Heavy Timber Engineering, ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd.
This session will look at timber as a structural material and explore the following topics:
- What we’ve lost
- Fun Structures
- Heritage work
- Recreational and Commercial buildings
- Where the industry is heading
