The Institute of Sciences of the Construction ‘Eduardo Torroja' of Madrid (IETcc) has been the headquarters of the Impulse proHolz 'Construction with wood contralaminada'; the first of three intensive courses of 16 hours each one that form part of the Master of Engineering of the wood of the University of Santiago de Compostela 2011-2012. The increasing interest that is waking up this constructive solution in the prescriptores has carried to proHolz to organise/organize this course. As it signals Manuel García Barbero, architect and consultor for proHolz in Spain, “our aim is to improve the knowledge of the technicians of companies that build with wood to optimise/optimize and maximizar the performance of his projects with this new material”. And according to Beatriz González Rodrigo, professor of Structural Mechanics of the School of Civil Engineering of the UPM and collaborator of the IETcc “between the vocations of the Institute Eduardo Torroja is to strengthen knowledges of last generation and the implementation of innovative technicians of construction”.
95% of the production of CLT is located in the Centre/Center of Europe: Austria (63%), Germany and Switzerland, with an expectation of production of 1 million of cubic metres/meters in 2015.
