International Timber Construction Forum
04.12.2022
When the timber industry gathers in Innsbruck, the year draws to a close. This year, more than 2,500 wood enthusiasts flocked to the International Timber Construction Forum and followed exciting presentations such as the one by Lukas Rüegsegger on wildlife bridges in timber construction.
In his presentation Lukas Rüegsegger showed how wildlife bridges can be built today in timber construction. With the construction of roads, railways, infrastructure buildings, settlements as well as industrial and commercial areas in Switzerland, wildlife connectivity is limited. The habitats are geographically demarcated with insurmountable barriers, which the animals' natural urge to move is suppressed. Wildlife bridges reconnect the animals' reservoirs. Made of wood, they are particularly environmentally friendly.
Timbatec has designed two wooden wildlife bridges in Neuenkirch and Rynetel, which have recently been completed. Click here for the article in the proceedings of the 26th International Timber Construction Forum IHF 2022 .
Meeting place for the timber construction industry
The International Wood Construction Forum in Innsbruck is undoubtedly a must in the calendar of all wood fans. So it is always a pleasure for us to be part of this event with lectures or the booth of TS3. We would like to thank the organizing team and are already looking forward to the next edition.
