Greenrock Logistics Hall, Neuötting | Germany
In the context of this project, a logistics hall with a total floor space of 10,200 m² was built using timber construction. For this, we supplied 840 m³ of binderholz glulam. A total of 47 trusses with a span of 22 m were installed. The timber structure was built in seven calendar weeks. Thanks to the use of timer beams, the plot could be utilised more efficiently, as they can be used in a more flexible way. Thus, the superstructure was made entirely of timber while the hall's usable area could be extended by 400 m².

Material use 840 m³ binderholz glulam
Entire superstructure made from wood
When a new industrial estate was built in the north of Neuötting, one of the first projects to be completed was a turnkey-ready timber construction logistics hall including warehouse/office mezzanine. Flexible interior spaces, a clear hall height of approx. 10.50 m and integrated facilities provide optimum working conditions. Additionally, the project comprises 28 car parking spaces and 10 lorry loading gates. Sprinkler system as well as server and sanitary facilities were integrated into the concept.
128 m long and 88 m wide, the hall was realised as a timber structure with concrete plinth. The timber structure was completed in just seven calendar weeks. Spruce glulam was joined and a total of 2527 timber parts were used for the project. Additionally, some seven tonnes of screws and 26 tonnes of steel in form of feet as well as slotted metal sheets were installed. As the timber beams can be used in a flexible way, the plot could be utilised more efficiently. Thanks to realising the entire superstructure with timber, it was possible to extend the hall's usable area by 400m².
Example for environmentally conscious logistic solutions
Thanks to the use of a large-area solar panel system on the roof and state-of-the-art heat pumps in combination with planar concrete core activation, the logistics hall can be operated in a carbon neutral way. Heat loss is minimised by a highly insulated building envelope. The project merges sustainability, ecology and economy and is also certified in accordance with DGNB Gold Standard.
Innovative and sustainable timber construction
Hybrid construction solutions using solid timber are particularly suited for commercial and industrial buildings. They are particularly suitable for hall construction and in this context, technically and economically practical. Roof constructions with a primary superstructure made from glulam can be realised in various different shapes. These comparably light constructions meet high fire protection demands and appear elegant and aesthetically pleasing.
