The Portland International Airport’s new terminal roof represents a monumental achievement for the #masstimber industry. We worked with ZGF Architects and Sustainable Northwest to ensure that the thousands of uniquely cut pieces of timber could be traced back to the forest of origin. Since opening in August, the project has welcomed thousands of visitors to the region and brilliantly showcases the rich history and current context of the Pacific Northwest timber industry. Timberlab's fabrication expertise was critical to the success of the Portland International Airport's mass timber roof structure, one of the largest installations of its kind in the United States. This project was one of the first to go through our Portland, Oregon facility, which was strategically located near the project site. That immediate proximity ensured meticulous quality control and streamlined logistics, enabling efficient delivery and installation. Leveraging CNC technology, Timberlab achieved the tight tolerances necessary for this intricate roof design, demonstrating the scalability and precision of mass timber for large-scale infrastructure projects. #PDXnext #masstimberconstruction #timberconstruction #timberengineering #timberbuilding #woodbuilding #glulam #crosslaminatedtimber #clt #cltbuilding #masstimberconference #forestproducts #forestindustry #forestproud #wooddesign #timberdesign #sustainablearchitecture #sustainabledesign Timberlab.com/projects/pdx Owner: Port of Portland Architect: ZGF Architects Engineer: KPFF Consulting Engineers GC: Hoffman Construction Company | Skanska Project Partners: ZIP-O-LAMINATORS LLC | Freres Wood | Swinerton | Sustainable Northwest Photos: FLOR Projects

We’re proud to announce that Swinerton has been ranked 10th in the Engineering News-Record Top 100 Green Building Contractors list for 2024! This achievement reflects our team’s dedication and passion for sustainability in the construction industry.

Mass timber has been revolutionizing the way we build with its low environmental impact and structural benefits. However, limited research on the cost, constructability, and performance of mass timber in sensitive healthcare environments has largely impeded the usage of mass timber in hospitals and other acute care settings. To address these barriers, Swinerton collaborated with industry-leading experts to develop its latest white paper, "Mass Timber Hospital: The Future of Healthcare." This in-depth study offers a roadmap to unlock mass timber’s full potential in hospital design and construction, with insights on how to achieve up to 57% carbon reduction without sacrificing operational efficiency.
