Key Aspect

This project was for the construction of new office premises within the Grangemouth Refinery for Versalis Ltd.

The building was a steel frame unit with Metal Cladding. Due to flood levels, the building floor level had to be lifted and this was achieved by using "Iglu" ventilated under floor units with concrete slab above same set on a sealed membrane. The underbuilding was constructed of a 200 thick heavily reinforced wall at 1m high. Also due to the high explosion risk on the sire, the walls / windows were blast proof to one side of the building.

A new access road and car parking was also provided and security fencing installed round the perimeter.
