Warehousing

Site: R P Valves Ltd, Mildenhall, Suffolk

Specifications

Construction - Structural steel portal frame - 131 metres long x 51 metres clear span x 8 metres to eaves.

The building is located in close proximity to the boundary of RAF Mildenhall and an unusual design consideration was the requirement for an enhanced building frame design which was imposed by the MOD. This entailed the use of closely positioned hot rolled purlins and rails in lieu of cold rolled galvanised supports, minimum cladding panel lengths and the use of fully mansafe non-fragile rooflights.

Performance and Sustainability - The building boasts a high level of insulation performance comprising 120mm thick TATA insulated steel composite to both roof and walls.

Steel Tonnage - Approx. 400 tonnes

Delivery - A tight building programme necessitated a phased construction with sections of the steel frame being erected, lined and levelled and complete for the installation of the roof cladding at the same time as the commencement of subsequent steel sections. This required significant logistical and Health and Safety planning which resulted in the entire project being completed well within the 20 week period allocated by the main contractor.
