A unique timber structure has been located in the heart of London since the end of March 2014. In a period of just six months, the Austrian company WIEHAG built the roof with a total length of 984 ft for the Crossrail railway station situated in the Canary Wharf business district.

Crossrail is a railroad and infrastructure construction project in Greater London, which is to be completed by 2018. The cost for the entire project with its route network, which is about 62 miles long, is estimated at approximately 18 billion euros.

WIEHAG was responsible not only for the construction work, but also for the planning and structural analysis of the timber grid roof. The structural analysis of the structure, with a total of 1,414 glulam timber members as well as 111 steel pipes, was performed in RSTAB.
