Anandia Canopy, Comox BC Canada

The Project

The canopy is six meters long and nine meters wide and rests on just three supports.

CLT panels of this size cannot be delivered to a construction site. To ensure that the canopy is still made from a single panel and no joists are required, four CLT panels are joined together using TS3 technology.

Construction Method

The CLT panels were prepared in accordance with TS3 specifications. This included milling and drilling for the application of the TS3 casting resin.
The panels were then installed, and the joints were sealed from both the top and bottom.
In a final step, the casting resin is poured into the joints. This cures in one day, allowing construction to continue uninterrupted.

The Challenges

TS3 technology is offered through a licensing system. TS3 employees are not physically on-site but provide virtual support to the people at the construction site. Thanks to the comprehensive training materials, the canopy was successfully constructed by local craftsmen.
