REWE Frankfurt (Green Building)

Roof construction made of glued laminated timber for a REWE supermarket in Frankfurt-Praunheim. The glulam beams have a length of up to 50.5 metres and free span widths of approx. 42 metres - the extraordinary span widths were possible thanks to the patented HESS LIMITLESS solution, which has proven itself worldwide. Arbitrarily long glued laminated timber beams are specially pre-fabricated on our site and subdivided into short, convenient segments. The segmentation facilitates a flexible, safe and economical worldwide transport by trucks or in shipment containers. On the construction site, experienced assembly specialists subsequently glue the subsegments by using our patented HESS LIMITLESS joint system and prepare them for assembly.
