The 49.2' (14.9m) high
ridge includes a ventilation opening. The special side
curtains along the length of the building create additional
ventilation. The 13.1' (3.9m) high curtains roll from the
top down, which allows for the possibility of a small
opening, well above working height. For optimal use, the
fabric l building and the existing metal clad building are
connected through one common door opening. A fabric weather
flap has been installed between the buildings along the roof
line to prevent rain water from entering between the
buildings.
With this
additional 17222 sq ft (1600m2) of covered working
area, which will be provided with a watertight asphalt
floor, the Blauwe Bak is ready for future expansion while
simultaneously meeting current regulatory requirements.
The
additional
benefits
of
a
short
delivery
and installation
period,
the
very
low maintenance
and
illumination
costs, but
certainly also
the
attractive
investment
(compared to
a
traditional type
building)
certainly helped
to confirm
Frank
Koopman's
choice.
"We
have
chosen this fabric
building for various reasons.
Of
course,
the
level of
total investment is important,
but
the right
functionality
is
what
counts
every day
of the
week.
We needed
a building
with
a
high ridge
for our crane,
good working
height along
the sides,
day
light
for (low
cost)
working
conditions,
but
also very good
ventilation possibilities.
When we
dump a
container of
building materials we get
large dust
clouds.
The design
of the
eaves, in
combination
with the
ridge vent allows
for constant
air flow,
even when the
side
curtains are
up,
and
clear
the inside
quickly
of dust
clouds."
De Blauwe
Bak Recycling chose green and white which
allows the building to blend in better with
the surrounding trees.
