Mass Engineered Timber: Benefits and Challenges in Modern Construction - Serena Yap

Mass Engineered Timber (MET) includes advanced wood products like Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) designed for structural use. These materials enhance traditional timber's strength and durability by bonding wood layers together. While MET is praised for its sustainability and reduced carbon footprint, challenges include its susceptibility to fire and moisture, higher costs compared to conventional materials, and the need for specialized knowledge in design and construction.

Serena Yap, Director at Taylor Thomson Whitting (TTW), will be sharing her knowledge on MET (Mass Engineered Timber) in this 1-hour session.
