Mass Timber Construction Podcast
In this special guest episode, Paul speaks to David Barber from Arup. Prior to the pandemic David was based in Washington, DC where he specialised in the fire safety of mass timber buildings. For over 25 years he has assisted with fire testing, developing new timber technologies, authoring fire safety design guides, working with timber product suppliers and completing fire safety solutions for mid-rise and high-rise timber buildings. David leads a global team within Arup that works with researchers, architects and developers in the fire safety of timber structures. Currently David is working with project teams on mass timber buildings located throughout the US and internationally. In this conversation we talk about the essential ingredients for a successful mass timber project, and how the best timber projects are the ones that actually get built. Please enjoy the conversation with David Barber.
