The choice of Kerto® LVL quickly became clear to us during the execution studies, as a replacement for OSB panels. We had a very large surface area of panels to install within a tight schedule and during the winter period. We therefore had to optimize lifting times on the one hand and meet deadlines by reducing the use of the tower crane used by the structural work package on the other. We installed 300 m² of panels daily!
We chose Kerto panels because they could also be manufactured in large sizes while respecting the required optimization. We sent a list of parts numbered by roof and zoning, allowing us to organize the storage areas as soon as they were unloaded on site. In addition, the 27 mm Kerto® L panel selected met the required technical specifications, namely a panel forming a "diaphragm" on the roof and supporting a waterproofing system, receiving either a green roof or photovoltaic panels.
