visit from Chair Madera to Maderas Jimeno
The Chair Madera, fruit of the partnership between the University of Navarra and the Government of Navarra, organized a visit to Maderas Jimeno, in Iciz. During the tour, the students learned about the complete process of manufacturing parts for construction. The sawmill works with solid wood squares and, above all, with spruce and Douglas fir species.
Specifically, they stopped at the sawing area; the machining area, where the pieces are cut automatically according to plans and actual measurements; the autoclave treatment area, where protection products are applied; and the lasur application area (surface finishes).
The activity is part of the seminar 'Construction in Wood', which takes place on Saturday mornings from January 21 to March 31 at the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra. The theoretical sessions -at position by six experts from various institutions and academic centers in Navarra, Galicia and Madrid- are complemented by four other visits: to a forest biomass facility, a sawmill, various works built in wood and a forest. On April 28, the students will present the work carried out during the course in the Señorío de Bértiz Natural Park (Navarra).
