B & K Structures has provided an engineered timber system for a gymnasium and three classroom blocks at a London school

B & K Structures has provided an engineered timber system for a gymnasium and three classroom blocks at Preston Manor school in north-west London. The construction combines B & K Structures鈥� X-LAM with glulam beams. In total 860m3 of X-LAM panels were supplied with 26m3 of glulam being used. The company says that using X-LAM and glulam avoided the need for internal columns, while the sustainably sourced timber helped the project to achieve a BREEAM 鈥淓xcellent鈥� rating. B & K Structures鈥� X-LAM elements are produced from European softwoods such as spruce and have PEFC or FSC accreditation.
