Grøntvedt Pelagic has expanded its cold storage capacity even further with the addition of a third Rubb ‘Thermohall’.
Grøntvedt Pelagic, one of Norway’s leading producers of herring, salted fish, dryfish, and clipfish, chose Rubb as the supplier for their third warehouse project at Ørland in Sør Trøndelag.
Rubb had already delivered a 30m (98.5ft) x 108m (354ft) x 5m (16.5ft) hall, insulated with Rubb’s 150mm Thermohall® insulated cladding. This facility is divided into two areas with a Thermowall partition, and is used for maturing and storage of barrels of herring prior to export. The structure features two temperature zones.
Grøntvedt then expanded with a second 30m (98.5ft) x 152m (498.5ft) x 5m (16.5ft) hall, with the same insulation thickness, and two Thermowall partitions inside, providing three temperature zones. The latest new structure, the third in the series, measures 30m (98.5ft) x 200m (656ft) x 5m (16.5ft) and connects to the original structures. This facility includes three Thermowall partitions, creating four additional temperature zones.
The latest building will be used to produce and repackage products, which require a larger amount of space. The partitions were all supplied with 100mm (4ins) insulation. All structures include specialist insulated doors.
Rubb’s fabric structures provide the ideal environment for temperature controlled cold storage. With quick construction time, energy efficiency, and modular design they provide the perfect solution for recent warehouse shortages.
Alexander Grøntvedt, production manager of Grøntvedt Pelagic, commented that: “The halls are excellent for our needs and are of a quality we know we will benefit from for a long time.” He went on to say, “They keep the required temperature consistently, even on hot summer days.”
The ability to relocate Rubb structures, no matter what size, also enables companies and businesses to develop their facilities to suit their changing needs and support future developments.
Rubb continues to strive to add value to all products and services. Rubb customer care also goes beyond just one sale and into aftercare commitment, maintenance, delivery of improved solutions to existing and changing requirements and dependable systems of ongoing research, development and engineering in the fabric building industry. The ultimate aim is to provide long-term, eco-friendly and cost effective, sustainable building solutions to support many organisations’ warehouse requirements, activities and goals.
Rubb’s warehouse technology specialist, Stephnie Coyle, said: “Flexibility is the key for warehouses of the future. There continues to be a very high demand for warehousing, alongside falling development and availability. With a fall in warehouse vacancy rates we are finding our clients are looking to utilise the available land they have by creating custom designed fabric warehouse solutions to expand and enhance their temporary and permanent storage space options. Rubb storage warehouses can be quickly installed on site, but also can be modified, extended or even moved to suit changing operational needs. This allows ends users flexibility in how they operate and use their warehouse space.”
Rubb buildings are a cost effective alternative and sustainable solution to conventional structures, which are able to adapt to the changing requirements of the end user. Large clear spans and high translucent ceilings provide a bright, efficient working environment. Rubb storage warehouses are built to last but are fully relocatable or extendable to meet changing needs. Rubb structures are available in single spans of 3 metres to more than 100 metres, by any length. Standard module lengths vary from 3m to 7m. Multi-span options are also available to cater for even bigger facilities.
Rubb has earned a reputation for tackling difficult and unique projects. Over the years the company has developed substantial structures that can be moved on wheels or rails, or even lifted around a project site in fully erected form. Rubb’s customers’ needs are paramount from quotation to installation, project completion and beyond.
