99 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Owner Michail Arabatzis S.A. “Hellenic Dough” Architect Petridis Paschalis & Partners General Contractor Frigostahl S.A. Engineering Office Petridis Paschalis & Partners Construction Period 08/2016 - 06/2017 Commissioned by “Hellenic Dough – Arabatzis S.A.”, the new buildings meet the high quality standards set by the company’s management. The project consists of new industrial units for the production of innovative dough and pastry products using fully automated, cutting edge machinery. Situated in the Industrial Area of Thessaloniki (Sindos), it consists of two independent constructions: a building of rapid freezing chambers with dimensions of 48 x 31 m and the building of production and preparation areas with dimensions of 79 x 48 m for a total area of 5,280 m 2 . SCIA Engineer was used for the analysis of the entire project. The structure has been completely modelled with more than 12,000 1D members. The cold formed module has been implemented for the check of thin walled sections Z and C used for purlins. Various loads, such as self-weight, permanent loads, variable loads, imposed loads due to freezing chambers, snow and wind loads were calculated by using the plane generator option. BIM modelling features were used, such as export to IFC 2x3 file, Tekla link and XML IO Document which helped link SCIA Engineer to IDEA Statica for the calculation of arbitrary connections. Because of the different elevations of the buildings, it was considered convenient to solve each building separately. Another challenge encountered was that, because of the existing constructions on the one side of the building, it was necessary to have asymmetric column-positioning which led to eccentric loading of the structure.
