Trinity On The Hill Timber Frame Truss Retro-Fit
A few years ago Harmony Timberworks took on massive retro-fitting project involving timber frame truss installation in an already existing red-iron shell of a church. It took a considerable amount of preparation and custom fitting. Upon arrival the walls were laden with exposed brick and steel, and the roof was a disappointing destination to the lofty attention the high ceilings demanded from an onlooker’s gaze up the wall. The location had immense potential, and we agreed to take the job. The planning on the other hand involved hundreds of dimension assessments in order to proved an accurate layout for the project
We fitted all the trusses with a considerable amount of variance and difficulty, due to the lack of a uniform ratio in the building’s settling. Time had made the red-iron frame settle in uneven proportions, and at request we carefully covered each of the structural red-iron beams with a timber truss. Each truss had to be hand measured and fitted in this regard, which took an unprecedented amount of time and effort. Usually retro-fits are not something we do, it’s a good deal more practical to create the plans for the timber trusses in congruence with the plans of the building. The installation and construction usually takes place after the base of the building has been created and the walls are built uniformly alongside the trusses.
We designed, cut, and fit all of the timber framing at our shop. Having measurements after an assiduous examination process is one thing, but the fitting was going to be doubly arduous. We used hand crank chain hoists, come-alongs, duct lifts, aerial man-lifts, and a number of other man powered tools that would fit through the doors of the church in order to ascend the timber frame into positioning for fastening. The retro-fitting required several areas to be temporarily fastened with precision until a welding job could be performed by a difference contractor. Our team was fully prepared to take on this project, although it was something we had never attempted before. If you’d like to see photos and get a more detailed breakdown of our installation at Trinity On The Hill head to our website here.
Making progress on the #timberframe #barn! We're excited to see it all come together in August! Stay tuned! #timber
