Sterling Structural, a leading manufacturer of prefabricated mass timber and hybrid structural systems in North America, announced the availability of a new Mass Timber Mock-up training kit. The kit is designed to help vocational schools, training programs, and unions educate and train the construction industry workforce on the emerging use of Mass Timber in a wide range of structures.
The kit includes everything needed to construct a mock-up of a small-scale mass timber building. This hands-on learning tool showcases key components of prefabricated CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) and glulam systems, demonstrating best practices for installation, connection detailing, and material handling.
“Training carpenters and other construction industry professionals on Mass Timber techniques will improve outcomes which will lead to greater adoption, which will benefit everyone,” says Michaela Harms, vice president of Mass Timber at Sterling Structural.
Built to reflect real-world construction scenarios, the mock-up provides experience with high-performance building solutions, including CLT panels, floor and roof systems, lap joints, irregular panel lifting, glulam column connections, glulam beam connections, and more.
