Construction of the Troja Production Plant: Fast and Sustainable with Infill Panels | Latvia

This project of ours is an example of how modern construction methods and the use of industrially prefabricated elements can significantly accelerate and optimize the construction and assembly process. For this project, ZTC carried out the construction of the front facade, which utilized insulated panels with 60 mm thick CLT (cross-laminated timber). The panels arrived at the construction site as finished elements directly from the factory.

Infill Panel Production and Assembly Advantages

A major advantage in this project was the principle of parallel work execution—while the metal structures were being installed on the construction site, the wooden panels were already being prepared at the factory. This allowed for the immediate start of panel assembly on-site as soon as the metal frame was ready. This significantly shortened the construction time, which is one of the biggest advantages of industrially manufactured buildings.

This type of panel assembly is done without scaffolding, which not only saves time and resources but also makes the work process safer and more efficient. The panels were secured directly to the metal structure, supported by special base panels. The exterior facade finishing work was done by the client, allowing them to customize the building's final appearance to their liking.

Interior Solutions and Sustainable Construction

In production facilities, it's important to provide surfaces that are not only durable but also easy to maintain. The CLT panels used are completely suitable for this, as their surface is durable and easily renewable.

The production plant built within this project is a testament to the fact that wood can be the main material not only in smaller-scale projects but also in industrial construction, ensuring both efficiency and sustainability. It's important to highlight that wood, as a building material, is unique in its ability to store carbon, thus reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Furthermore, wood is a natural, renewable resource with excellent thermal insulation properties that help reduce the building's energy consumption during operation.
