135 ARCHITECT Jacobs, SCE OWNER Marine Harvest GENERAL CONTRACTOR Robertson, Blyth & Blyth CONSTRUCTION PERIOD 10/2018 - 03/2019 The Frisomat part of this project consists of more than 5,500 m² of warehouses for a fish-feeding plant in Scotland. The big challenge was to seamlessly integrate these with the very high silo constructions and buildings right next-door. Due to the different height of the buildings in the project there was a very big snow accumulation to consider on a large part of the roof. Modelling the snow loads as free surface loads in SCIA Engineer made it easy to visualise them. Other specific-attention tasks in the design were: to work around stair cases, include a dilatation joint, provide a fire corridor and last but not least to make some above-roof constructions to support ventilation tubes and machinery. The latter was the only place where we used traditional hot-rolled profiles. All other parts are made only from cold formed Sigma, C and Z profiles. Though it is our habit to make only 2D models for most of our projects, the complexity of this one encouraged us to use one integrated 3D design model in SCIA Engineer. The combination of easy-to-use modelling, nice reporting and functionality to include non-linear behaviour, verification of cold formed sections, … made it relatively easy to provide the requested design notes for a very thorough verification according to the Scottish SER certification requirements.
