Kingspan Timber Solutions has delivered more than 38,000 wall components and 20,000 timber trusses to main contractor ISG to build 625 lodges at the Center Parcs Woburn Forest. The £61m development features a district heating system connecting each of the lodges to a central biomass energy centre, plus 20,000 newly planted trees to improve biodiversity. Kingspan’s closed panel timber frame system can be made watertight within an average of eight weeks. www.kingspan.com
Beattie Passive Norse is a new joint venture company set up to offer the Beattie Passive offsite Passivhaus system. The modular method of construction achieves Passivhaus-compliant buildings at a lower cost than traditional methods. Foundation beams, ground floor, walls and roof all form a continuous void. Once in place, flame retardant insulation material is injected into the floor, wall and ceiling cavities, creating a continuous seal. www.beattiepassivenorse.co.uk
