The carbon removed from the atmosphere resulting from Dalston Lane’s CLT construction is equivalent to the annual emissions of 1703 cars
The structural benefits of CLT include its loadbearing capacity when used as a wall or slab, together with its superior acoustic and performance properties. It is typically five times lighter than concrete and distrib- utes concentrated loads as line loads at foundation level. Structures are typically built using a ‘platform frame’ approach, meaning that walls are temporarily braced with raking props before floor panels are lowered onto them and fixed. In addition to its sustainability credentials, thermal insulation performance and sound insulation properties, it is speed of construction where cross laminated really comes into its own, says B&K Structures. “As a rapid, robust and reliable offsite manufactured solution, CLT delivers many benefits during the construction process and beyond. Manufactured to very high levels of accuracy in factory controlled

conditions ensures minimal defects and improves construction and project delivery time, reducing costs and maximising efficiency on all levels – providing cost and programme certainty.” However, the benefits do not end after
the construction phase. Due to the enhanced performance values and robust nature of CLT as a material, the ongoing lifecycle costs of the building are “vastly reduced, through fewer maintenance requirements and lower energy consumption.” As not only the world’s largest yet CLT building but one of the tallest of its kind, the Dalston Lane project was a pioneering development. As with all such projects it required close collaboration between the client, engineer, contractor and architect to meet the tight building schedule and achieve a successful result.
