Parts storage September 1st 2007 Rubb Buildings' construction of a
new warehouse for AEPCO Marine
provided the shipyard with a muchneeded
new parts storage facility.
Originally, AEPCO looked at using
a metal structure, but decided that
it would not be suitable for their
requirements.
Located in Virginia, the new
warehouse measures 15.24m wide
by 38.11m in length and has a 6m
sidewall. It was designed to a 20-
psf-ground snow load, 120mph
and 3sec gust wind speed.
The structure provides a safe,
ergonomic working environment,
with the galvanised steel frame
allowing maximum use of available
space and the partially translucent
roof providing a natural balanced
source of light.
Rubb also received a contract
for a BVE building, two THA
shelters and three THX shelters. More articles from Rubb Buildings Limited: |
