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.
“What we have is a modern facility that uses environmentally-friendly glulam timber beams,” said Network Rail route director Jo Kaye.
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.
