Peikko’s timber-based hybrid construction solutions include a range of standardised connections that enable connecting timber, steel and concrete seamlessly and reliably in large and heavy structures. In this case, a Bramco beam shoe on the end of the glulam beam connects with the Ramco hidden corbel in the vertical, multistorey column.

Expo roof, Hannover, Germany, completed 2000, designed by Herzog + Partner, featuring laminated veneer lumber (LVL), glulam triangular braces and solid silver fir uprights. Each of the ten 'umbrellas' covers an area of 1,600 m2 (40 by 40 m) and stands around 26 m high. The wooden elements are fixed together with steel brackets and castings. A waterproof membrane, suspended 50 mm above the roof, protects the wood from being permanently damp.

The Metropol Parasol, Seville, Spain, by Jürgen Mayer H and engineered by Arup, completed 2011. One of the largest wooden structures ever built, it is made from Kerto laminated veneer lumber (LVL) with a polyurethane resin (PUR) weather resistant coating.
