Large scale solution
July 1st 2008 Having the capability to
increase storage capacity is
critical for many businesses
and, for Tradewood
Agencies in Belfast, it has
proved to be the case that
bigger is certainly better.
The company's
warehouse is a massive
structure; a Rubb Triple
Link BVE with a 101m span
x 95m length provides a
floor area of 9595m2, giving
ample space to store
timber and timber products.
The front gables have
extended canopies over
the doors to give
protection from the
elements. This is further
enhanced with the gable of
the middle building being
set back to provide an
under cover area for the
loading and unloading of
goods. The interior
sidewalls were clad with
Magnesium Silicate Board
to provide a 1h fire-wall;
the material is low weight
and provides good
insulation. Other features
include roof fans and a
syphonic drainage system.
Enthusing about Rubb
staff, Leo Bagnall, director
at Tradewood, says "They
were hard-working and fast
to react when changes
were required, all of which
were crucial ingredients for
a smooth erection of a
building of this size." More articles from Rubb Buildings Limited: |
