First Tech
First Tech Federal Credit Union’s new corporate office building in Hillsboro is the country’s largest cross-laminated timber structure. The five-story structure features floor-to-ceiling windows that open the space up to the natural surroundings, which include a wetlands area and a park with walking trails.

Brock Commons
Providing much-needed student housing at the University of British Columbia Campus in Vancouver, Brock Commons is an innovative hybrid structure featuring 17 stories of cross-laminated timber supported by glulam beams atop a concrete base. It is currently the tallest mass timber structure in North America.

Carbon 12
Carbon 12 is a cutting-edge mass timber structure located in Portland, Oregon, providing 2,700 sq ft of commercial retail space and 21,000 sq ft of residential space. All major beam-to-column connections, provided by MyTiCon, utilize modern, pre-engineered, fire-rated concealed connection systems that achieve high load carrying capacity with ease of installation, all while maintaining a clean appearance with the exposed mass timber elements.

Blast testing
WoodWorks – Wood Products Council, in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Lab and Softwood Lumber Board, conducted a second series of blast tests on three existing two-story, single-bay cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures at Tyndall Air Force Base. All structures remained intact under significant explosive loading well beyond their design capacity. Connectors tested included self-drilling screws provided by MyTiCon.

Reinforcing Gastown
840 Cambie S in downtown Vancouver was raised in 1912 from Douglas fir. Unfortunately, the heavy timers were not seasoned to a moisture content of 15% prior to construction and heavy cracks and checks developed during service life as the wood dried. Read Jones Christoffersen Consulting Engineers (RJC) proposed a gravity load upgrade of the structure using Assy VG screws as it didn’t require heavy lifting or machinery.
