Cup-winning ice hockey team HC Ajoie. The building owner is relying on the direct
use of wood from the municipal union "Synidicat intercommunal District de
Porrentruy (SIDP)".
Timbatec developed already in the pre-project phase
concept for the use of wood and has accompanied the process since then. In winter
2018/19, ProForêt SA harvested around 2,000 m3 of coniferous wood
and 1,000 m3 of hardwood. The sawmills Yves Bernard in
Sonvilier and Rais in Courcelon sawed the softwood into beams and boards.
From the by-products, the Schilliger Holz company in Küsnacht glued multi-layered
solid wood boards. This significantly increased the roundwood yield.
The hardwood was processed by the Corbat company in Vendlicourt. From ash and beech wood, Ducret-Orges SA and Fagus Switzerland produced glulam beams for the main roof structures.
In mid-May, the next phase of the installation is planned. The Batipro-Ducret consortium is responsible for the installation of the wooden structure.
