88 terraced houses with high sustainability requirements
Bakkekvarteret in Vinge, south-east of Frederikssund, marks the start of a comprehensive construction project in an area that will eventually accommodate over 2,000 homes. The project involves the construction of 88 terraced houses of 1-2 storeys, with a focus on community, nature and very high sustainability requirements.
To meet the objective of building in a way that is CO₂-friendly, efficient and scalable, the main contractor, Adserballe & Knudsen, has opted for an industrialised approach to the core structure construction. Here, Gantio Robotics plays a key role as the crucial link between the digital drawings and the physical building site.
The unbroken digital chain: from ABCarpentry to Gantio Robotics
In close collaboration with the engineering firm ABC, who developed the parametric design tool ABCarpentry, we have created a completely seamless process from 3D model to finished timber structure – with no manual intermediaries.
- Every single piece of structural timber is cut to precise measurements.
- Milled grooves for joints are made with machine precision, with practical tolerances that ensure smooth assembly.
- All components are marked with ID codes that match the assembly instructions, so no one has to decipher complex drawings on site.
- The core structures leave the factory as complete building kits, packed in logical assembly order.
Under 5 kg CO₂-eq/m²/year
Ikano Bolig has set a high bar. As a manufacturer of structural frames, Gantio Robotics contributes directly to this calculation.
Production with minimal waste
Our nesting software and robotic precision minimise material waste in the factory and eliminate off-cuts and construction waste on the building site itself. In this specific project, the total material waste has been reduced to just 5%.
Precise LCA documentation
As everything can be digitally tracked and is manufactured by robots, we can provide precise data on material consumption down to the millimetre, making the project's LCA calculations both easier and more accurate.
No need for angle brackets
The 5 mm wide grooves make it easy to place the studs in the top and bottom plates without using angle brackets. The grooves stabilise the joints during assembly and hold everything in place until the structure is secured.
Timber on screw foundations
Timber structures and timber panels on the ground floor are mounted on screw foundations, allowing the project to stay below 5 kg CO₂-eq/m²/year and achieve the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
Buildability and speed on site
For Adserballe & Knudsen's construction team, this delivery means they can avoid time-consuming and error-prone processes. As every single component is digitally defined and precision-milled, there was full transparency regarding time, costs and material consumption right from the start.
The carpenters get a system that can be assembled quickly, safely and without errors. It transforms traditional carpentry into efficient assembly, ensures adherence to the schedule and creates a significantly better and quieter working environment.
Bakkekvarteret shows what is possible when you view construction as an industrial process from start to finish. By directly linking ABC’s parametric design with our robot-based production, we have delivered core structures where material waste is kept to a minimum and which can be assembled at a speed and quality that manual labour cannot match.
