PK Vesta Plant announces an order for two pre-engineered repair bays measuring 15W x 30L x 6H and 15W x 48L x 6H for a unique biological station on Sakhalin Island, Russia
A representative of a unique biological station and a Russian scientific research center/institute have decided to place an order for two pre-engineered repair bays measuring 15W x 30L x 6H and 15W x 48L x 6H at the Tula plant. The steel buildings are designed for field repair of equipment and machinery. The station's unique location at the confluence of sea currents attracts virologists, ornithologists, and marine biologists from across the country. For example, over 160 species are found here, forming bird colonies where they even interact with marine mammals.
The client requested the use of the most advanced Light Steel Framing (LSF) technology, which was implemented for two steel buildings despite the elevated standard base loads at the construction site (snow load - 250 kg/sq.m, wind load - 85 kg/sq.m, and seismic activity of magnitude 9). Given the proximity to the sea, the steel frame provides 100% corrosion protection based on Class I galvanization of the metal – 275 g/sq.m. (All ferrous metal fittings are protected with a premium powder coating).
The steel frame is assembled like a LEGO set, with 100% bolted connections (no welding, screws, or rivets) and high factory turnkey solutions. Nearly all steel components are numbered and marked, simplifying assembly process after unloading the building kit at the construction site. Fireproof sandwich panels are used for the walls and roof. Sectional doors and gates are included.
Pre-engineered repair bays were designed using the free online WebSteel system.
