United Kingdom — Specialists in engineered timber and hybrid construction, B&K Hybrid Solutions (BKHS), have played a pivotal role in the creation of Cozenton Park Sports Centre; a state-of-the-art leisure facility that exemplifies sustainable and innovative design. The project, located in Medway, replaced the ageing 1990s pool complex with an energy-efficient and aesthetically striking hybrid structure, setting a benchmark for leisure developments in the UK. … BKHS were appointed to manufacture and install the hybrid engineered timber and steelwork elements which underpin the facility’s design, combining the visual appeal and natural warmth of timber with the strength of steel. Working in collaboration with specialist supply chain partners Stora Enso for the Cross Laminated Timber and Rubner for the glulam components, BKHS delivered a precision-engineered solution tailored to the project’s sustainability and performance goals. …The pool hall features glulam columns and beams measuring 1,700 by 240mm at 5m intervals, creating a clear 26.3m span.
