A bridge made of wood with a service life of around 80 years— this was our key challenge in the search for the right type of timber. The wood had to exhibit a sufficient load bearing capacity and have minimal swelling and shrinkage. It seemed an impossible task until we discovered Accoya®, which has all the properties that we needed.
