The production facility needs as much free space as possible, while offering highest protection for gravity and lateral stress. The building houses very heavy manufacturing equipment, carries explosion risk grade, and is exposed to snowy, windy environment. For this purpose, an enhanced steel frame for beams and columns will be used to allow both maximum security but also to enable max space between columns of 10m. The structural system will be hidden from users using white light metal cover plates. The following European standards for industrial facilities is used: Beams – IPN 600, composite steel, max 10m distance
Column Spacing: IPN600 composite steel, 10m –
Walls – enhanced concrete
Slab – 200mm concrete with 150mm double layered synthetic layer, topped by 100 mm sand overlay
Roof – green roofing systems Note: Unfortunately, due to recurring issue caused by poorly inserted topography, the elevations were displayed in very distorted way, which is causing substantial problems for calibrating the model with the architectural model. As a result, the first floor elevation is distorted and calibration of the slab to beams is incorrect. Corrections such as unlinking topography, or locking views has not helped to remedy the problem in the original model, neither has adding new elevations in the new model. Looking fwd to fixing the problem in the coming check in.
