The brand new facility will use greater than 1,600 m3 of this materials, making it some of the formidable initiatives not solely in Chile, however in all of Latin America.
In August 2022 the stadium Catholic College started a reconstruction course of to increase its capability to twenty thousand individuals, with a design that considers wooden as the primary materialsbecause of an alliance with CMPC.
Based on EL DÍNAMO, CMPC’s Wooden Supervisor, Juan Pablo Pereira, the joint work started “with the strategy of Cruzados to see the feasibility that CMPC, by way of Niuform, might develop the huge wooden answer that was wanted for the challenge”.
“The answer we see at the moment was the results of greater than 100 conferences between the events, a collaborative challenge, which from its beginnings thought of wooden as a number one component in its design,” he added.
The brand new design contemplates using greater than 1,600 m3 of woodenwith architectural parts as much as 27 meters lengthy, which makes it some of the formidable initiatives not solely in Chile, however in all of Latin America.
Thus, the wooden will likely be current in beams that can help the roof of the Lepe gallery and the Prieto gallery and on the skin of the brand new stands. With wooden because the predominant materials, The Crusaders Stadium will turn out to be an unprecedented infrastructure of this fashion.
Research in Canada and Europe have confirmed that Wooden produces a stress-reducing impact similar to what happens involved with nature.which is why it has been declared that wooden is a constructive answer that improves well-being and contributes to psychological well being.
“Wooden right here had its area naturally, searching for a design that was respectful of the setting, and on the similar time sustainable, proposed from the start by the architects of the challenge,” the chief emphasised.
Principally the wooden used within the renovation of the UC Stadium is glulam (Glued Laminated Timber), a product whose nice benefit is its versatility. This may be manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes and configurations for software in quite a lot of buildings.
“Glulam is a structural, engineered wooden answer, so it is extremely resistant and appropriate for initiatives of this magnitude”stated Pereira.
Wooden sustainability
Glulam is a Niuform materials made with layers of dimensioned wooden joined collectively, which has revolutionized the world of development by emit 3 times much less CO2 than its simile in bolstered concrete and for being carbon adverse. That’s, it eliminates extra CO2 than it emits.
“To provide a ton of brick, it requires 4 occasions the identical quantity of vitality as for wooden. If we evaluate it with concrete, it’s 5 occasions extra. Concerning weight, wooden options, corresponding to glulam, They’re 4 to 5 occasions lighter than concretewhich has a excessive influence on the price of manufacturing as a result of it requires fewer foundations and however significantly reduces the complexities related to transportation,” defined Pereira.
It’s estimated that the 1,600 m3 of Glulam that will likely be used, They may seize about 1,500 tons of CO2. All this makes working with such a development options revolutionary by way of sustainability in development.
To this we will add that timber seize CO2 from the environment all through their progress course of, and the wooden that’s used as uncooked materials for the manufacture of those parts, sequesters CO2 inside.
“Comparatively to different development supplies, wooden generates little CO2 in its manufacturing course of. Once you substitute a ton of concrete with a cubic meter of wooden you’re lowering CO2 and ceasing to emit, since you are changing different materials with the next emission,” concluded the CMPC Wooden Supervisor.
On the similar time, CMPC donated 3,500 quillayes from the Carlos Douglas nurserypositioned within the Biobío Area, that are already on the UC campus to offset a part of the challenge’s emissions, a local species of the realm that may coexist organically with the setting, whereas contributing to the city and panorama growth of the commune and your complete metropolis.
The Quillay tree is a species that captures 14 tons of CO2 per 12 months throughout its first 20 years of life, is engaging to bees so it encourages pollination, and mitigates the results of drought by having low water consumption.
