Gurdwara Southall Temple.<br />
The dome was originally conceived with the structural frame separated from the<br />
deck. This looked good but resulted in some duplication. By fixing 33 mm<br />
Kerto ‘Q’ Laminated Veneer Lumber curved decking panels to the 140 mm x<br />
140 mm Pine Glulam ribs, the structure was made more efficient. This<br />
produced significant economies complemented by the use of Cowley<br />
Connectors, which simplified the joints. The dome diameter is 18m x 14m<br />
radius. Decking panels are 450 wide ‘V’ groove jointed in single pieces from<br />
eaves to lantern. 176 pieces of curved Pine Glulam formed the ribs.<br />
