Rubb to the rescue
April 1st 2005

Hydro Aluminium, one of the world’s largest producers of aluminium, was recently facing a storage problem at its plant at Karmøy, Norway.

The company urgently needed additional on-site storage facilities to hold a large order of aluminium ingots, but because the ground surrounding the plant was so uneven options were extremely limited. Rubb Buildings’ associated Norwegian company based in Bergen was able to design, manufacture and install one of its NV type buildings to allow for the sloping ground.

Considerable challenges had to be overcome as there was a 30cm drop from one end of the site to the other, the concrete foundations therefore have a varying height to make the building level; the doors have sloping door blades at their bases to handle the unlevel ground.

When completed the building was 15m wide x 51m long x 4m high side walls, with six vertical folding doors on one side and the personnel doors on the other.
