Drytech waterproofed the new production hall of Pilatus, the Swiss business aircraft manufacturer.
The new hall, 196 metres long and 170 metres wide, with a usable area of 17,200 square metres, is impressive.
The wooden construction covers an area of 52 x 192 metres without supports. The revolutionary beech trusses allow the total loads to be transferred to the foundations through the six main beams (90 tonnes per beam) and the outer walls.
The main beams consist of solid glued trusses (16 tonnes each) made of glued spruce, supplemented by steel beams.
The foundations are made of waterproof Drytech concrete.
