Mass Timber and Heavy Timber
Heavy Timber has long been a staple of the construction industry, and Tacoma provides engineering for all aspects of Heavy Timber projects, including connection and member design (Specialty Structural Engineering) for installers, fabricators, designers and architects.
Mass Timber has re-emerged in the North American market with the advent of local Glulam and CLT (Cross-Laminated Timer) producers, in conjunction with Building Code changes to allow and guide its use. Mass Timber has proven to be an economically viable construction material for all types of buildings from 1 to 18 stories.
Tacoma Engineers has been engineering mass timber structures since 2019, providing engineering services for all aspects of the projects, including connection and member design (Specialty Structural Engineering) for fabricators, manufacturers, contractors and architects. Tacoma Engineers worked on 40+ Mass Timber projects, including Custom Residential, Recreational, Educational, Institutional, Multi-Storey Office and Multi-Unit Residential. Leveraging our construction and engineering knowledge and experience accumulated over the past 40+ years, we provide practical and economical solutions across our range of services.
