The Athletes' Village is a showcase of sustainable hybrid construction, with 45 % of the buildings using wood as the main material. ➡ Kerto-Ripa elements were selected for three different construction projects in Athletes’ Village. Use of Kerto LVL was only 0.07 m3/m2, which underlines the material efficiency. ➡ The construction process was optimized for speed and efficiency. ➡ After the games the “Heritage” phase will commence, transforming the area into a lively city district with residential apartments, businesses, shops, and public amenities.

The European Union aims to be climate neutral by 2050, and the construction industry can contribute significantly to reach this target and we’re experiencing a demand for climate-smart solutions from the construction industry. ➡ One of the advantages of this hybrid element is that construction contractors do not have to change their way of building with concrete elements but can still lower their carbon dioxide emissions. “The production method is very similar to what we already have, so we can create these hybrid elements using the same approach as our other walls, and they are assembled in the same way. We haven’t made any major investments or modifications,” says Daniel Eriksson. https://lnkd.in/dBBAt2EZ

If builders of the past had this know-how, our future would be brighter.  With Kerto LVL, you can save material and add square meters to your project. The best part? Our hybrid construction solution fits your existing process. Learn more about hybrid construction ➡ https://lnkd.in/eNRSCVDK
