Construction Period 12/2012 - 02/2013
A new weather-protected space was urgently needed for truck
maintenance on the new GTS-Mannheim production site. It needed to be
a low-cost solution that was quick to build.
The client idea was
to use old recycled containers
as the wall parts
with a light roof above. This would make it possible
to create the
storage and maintenance spaces at once
and the execution could be
processed very quickly and easily. The hall has an outer size of approx.
24 m x 17 m x 7 m. The covered area measures approx. 430 m
2
and
provides about 320 m
3
for storage and 1,700 m
3
for truck maintenance.
The designed container walls including required openings and steel-
wooden beam roof were built up in
SCIA Engineer with Structure,
3D-Free-Modelling and Drawing tools
. The calculations were processed
in SCIA Engineer according to
2nd order theory under EC loading
including earthquake
. The results of the calculations gave feedback
about roof-container connections and wall reinforcement required. All the
overviews, elevation, execution and detail drawings were processed and
created in SCIA Engineer with appropriate modelling- and drawing tools.
The main planning challenge was to combine different given types of
the old sea and office containers with the
new roof structure
.
Different
openings for the required windows, doors and interconnections had
to be created and adapted/reinforced due to the roof loads
.
