Peat producers at port
August 1st 2008 Collinson has completed a
port side building for peat
producers Bord na Mona at
the Port of Dublin. As the
Port of Dublin is reclaimed
land, a steel frame tension
membrane structure was
selected as foundation
requirements were minimal.
The building is 30m x
25m span with 5m side wall
and 7.3m max internal
height. The steelwork is
erected off a 1m height
concrete ring beam
(constructed by others)
which acts as foundations
for the building and
protection from vehicular
movements. A large sliding
door, ventilation system and
gutters/down pipes were
also installed.
Best-Hall buildings are
steel lattice superstructures
covered with a tensioned
PVC coated membrane. The
white membrane enables
high levels of natural light
for energy efficiency. More articles from Collinson plc: |
