Visual quality spruce glulam forms the heart of new £3.4m passenger facilities opened at Liverpool’s Lime Street Station.

 

Carpenter Oak & Woodland completed the timber engineering on the project, which involved large curved portals and flitch beams with standard glulam columns.

The new buildings incorporate first and standard class lounges, an information office, three retail outlets and cash machines.

Arched beams comprise 12m³ of glulam, while posts contain 3m³ and glulam flitch beams 6m³.

Carpenter Oak & Woodland were first appointed by the architect to the client’s design team as a specialist timber structure designer. It was then subsequently appointed as the specialist manufacturing and build contractor.
