Storage facility on uneven ground April 1st 2004 Hydro Aluminium urgently needed additional storage at its plant at Karmy, Norway to hold a large order of aluminium ingots. Options were limited because the ground was so uneven.
Rubb Buildings associated Norwegian company was able to design, manufacture and install one of its NV type buildings to allow for the sloping ground.
As there was a 30cm drop from one end of the site to the other, the concrete foundations have a varying height to make the building level and the doors have sloping door blades at their bases to cope with the unlevel ground condition.
The building is 15m x 51m long, with 4m high side walls. More articles from Rubb Building Systems: |
