Plantation Oak reaches new heights at UTAS The Shed.

The University of Tasmania’s “The Shed” is the first project to utilise mass engineered timber made from Tasmanian-grown Plantation Oak (Shining Gum), marking a significant milestone in Australian sustainable construction.

Featuring MASSLAM 38, the facility sets a new benchmark for educational infrastructure by transforming plantation fibre traditionally destined for woodchips or export into a high-value, locally manufactured mass timber solution.

MASSLAM 38

MASSLAM 38 is ASH’s brand of glue laminated (GLT) mass timber systems including columns, beams and floors.

Manufactured predominately for large-scale domestic and commercial construction projects. MASSLAM 38 uses Plantation Oak due to their high strength-to-weight ratios compared to timbers worldwide. The only glue-laminated timber in Australia to hold EWPAA certification.

Suitable applications:

  • Mass timber columns
  • Mass timbe beams
  • Timber/concrete composite floors (ATC)
  • Parallel laminated timber
  • Mass timber stairs

These samples are cross sections of a typical mass timber column or beam, intended to provide an accurate representation of the appearance and scale of these elements. As such, they are substantial in size and weight, and generally reserved for architects and building firms working on commercial, large-scale developments. If you are looking for structural timber (traditional F17 or laminated and finger-jointed SUPALAM F17 for an architectural look), please select the Australian Oak Uncoated sample. 

MASSLAM 45
Glue-laminated mass timber system of columns, beams and floors utilising Australian Oak (Tasmanian Oak).

Applications

  • Mass timber columns & beams
  • Timber/concrete composite floors (ATC)
  • Parallel laminated timber
  • Mass timber stairs
