Behind the apparent simplicity of non-load-bearing timber-framed facades lies high-precision engineering, where every detail counts. Reducing the carbon footprint through the use of wood and prefabrication. Guaranteeing the durability, weatherproofing, and thermal performance of the structures. Ensuring the success of each project through digital simulations and full-scale tests, from the laboratory to the construction site.
Industrialization, decarbonization, performance… What if the facade became an engine of transformation in construction?
Detailed modeling, deformation calculations, air-water-wind tests, integrated humidity sensors… The teams combine digital tools, experimentation and field expertise to design reliable, high-performance and ready-to-install facades, while improving lead times, safety and quality of execution.
🎥 In this new episode of "Engineering Treasures", Roland, Director of Timber Construction Engineering at Bouygues Bâtiment France, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at this expertise that is shaping a new generation of facades and construction sites.
