CROSS Safety Report: Durability issues with engineered timber

This month we present a report concerning multistorey cross-laminated timber buildings and their risk of collapse during a fire.

This month's CROSS report concerns water ingress that caused parts of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) structural frame of an eight-year-old building to rot.

As the summer event season gets under way in the UK, we present a CROSS safety report highlighting the need for robust inspections of temporary demountable structures.
