Use of MET for roof

SECTIONAL PERSPECTIVE THROUGH

SPORTS HALL
INTERNAL PERSPECTIVES OF
SPORTS HALL

(after Toyo ITO’s review)
Unconventional / out-of-the-box
thinking to span the main roof in
the long direction than the usual
short direction
“…roof is in form of pure arch, one

of purist and the most efficient
structural forms for column-free
large span spaces
“By using such a form, the timber structure can span

72m with a relatively slim and elegant profile.”
“This allows a lot of freedom with the façade design

on the transverse direction …”
8
9/17/2019
“…pure arch, one of the purist…” and “transverse

façade reinterpretation” – creation of new form ….
merging with function
The footprint of the earlier design is
retained – functionality is preserved

Benefits of Using Engineered Wood System (MET)
 Sustainable Material
- Environmentally friendly and contribute to climate protection by
reducing CO2 emission
MET … much embodied energy than
- Less thermal conductivity hence reducing cooling load RC and Steel
- Renewable resource, recyclable and reusable Glulam is 2/3 steel weight and 1/6
concrete weight – embodied
energy to produce is 6x less than
 Shorter Construction Period
equivalent steel
- EWS elements are prefabricated and delivered to site.
- Quality product with Computer Numerically Controlled cut to precision
 Less Labour Intensive

- Versatile, light weight and easy to fabricate to required shape and size
- Light weight and quick to install with connection of bolts and screws
- Less workers needed
 Safer Working Environment

- Clean and tidy site
- No falsework
- Less noise and waste; non corrosive elements

The Wave – Construction (challenges as faced by B19)

 New Technology – lack of local expertise; learning curve; application of finishes
to timber; limited/ unavailability of local supplier for MET (e.g. screw, etc)
 Adoption of Euro-code due to non-availability of local code; familiarity of MET

properties, strength, composition of EWS, layering, grading, service class and other
design parameters
 Challenging structure – 72m span roof

 Material transportation constraints for the 72m span–more joints required
 Timber material test requirement – non availability of local facilities

 Europe deference in time and working style
 Precision construction -Detailed design before production; sensitive to changes;
 Site constraint

Conclusion
THE WAVE has shown the use of MET as a
viable alternative form of construction for the
industry, even with its simple and large
spanning and yet graceful wave-like roof form….
…..as well as incorporating eco-friendly features
for a truly sustainable building.
A game-changing technology in the realms of DfMA
speeds up construction and reduce site manpower,
environmentally friendly and sustainable with
substantial carbon footprint reduction
Thank you
