Hess Limitless Timber
HESS LIMITLESS TIMBER
HESS LIMITLESS TIMBER
Endless. Strong. Transportable
Large span widths are no problem for glued laminated timber. However, the limits for very long glulam components are soon reached when it comes to overseas projects or narrow construction site access roads. For more than ten years now we have been realizing projects with our specifically developed, patented and approved all-in-one solution HESS LIMITLESS.
Arbitrarily long glued laminated timber beams are specially pre-fabricated on our site and subdivided into short, convenient segments. The segmentation facilitates a flexible, safe and economical worldwide transport by trucks or in shipment containers. On the construction site, experienced assembly specialists subsequently glue the subsegments by using our patented HESS LIMITLESS joint system and prepare them for assembly.

FOR LIMITLESS BUILDING WITH GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER
The combination of construction parts of theoretically endless lengths, the high technical performance capacity and the simplified transportability is what makes HESS LIMITLESS a high-performance, cost-effective all-in-one solution which is unique worldwide. Our engineers plan HESS LIMITLESS according to the individual requirements of the respective construction requirements. We thus provide architects, project developers, construction companies and designers with a proven and innovative all-in-one solution for wide-span supporting structures and highly-stressed constructions worldwide.
DEATAILS
The unique degree of effectiveness [η = 1] of the pure wood-wood connection results from the optimal interaction of the general finger joint and the so-called scarf joint.
The scarf joint is a specially designed fitting piece with an angular cut on both sides and which, depending on the load case, is applied either on the upper or bottom side of the glued laminated timber construction part. In addition, both the subsegments and the scarf joint are equipped with specially sorted premium lamellas on the side that is under tensile load. The ingenious combination of the different components lessens the strength reduction the general finger joint and enables the realization of highly economical and optimally dimensioned glued laminated timber constructions.

PROCESS
PLANNING
Professional and customized guidance to suit individual project requirements. From planning via production to transportation and on-site assembly. All from a single source.
ON SITE ASSEMBLY
A specially developed construction site setup guarantees the optimal temperature and humidity for a safe gluing process. The required gluing pressure is provided by patented clamps with which the segments are pressed together. All key processes and parameters are documented and externally monitored by a certified testing laboratory.
LOGISTICS
The segmentation of the glued laminated timber parts enables compact transportation in standardized shipment containers. This saves both time and costs and considerably increases the logistic flexibility as compared to conventional glued laminated timber
PRODUCTION
The production and segmentation of the glued laminated timber parts done accurately to the millimeter. The vulnerable joints are temporarily fitted with manufactured inserts that protect them during the handling and transportation phases.
