119 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Contact Herman Meeuws Address Industrieweg 4 2320 Hoogstraten, Belgium Email [email protected] Bolckmans is an established player in its field, with experience across various sectors and with different types of industrial buildings, such as showrooms, offices, production halls and warehouses. As a modern contractor we’re not merely a performer, but a one-stop-shop for our customers. We have a great way of thinking in terms of solutions, delivering projects within budget and on time, relying on a solid construction team with 850 years of building experience and we are proud to mention that 65% of our order income is generated by existing clients. Owner Alcom nv Architect Frank Joosen General Contractor Bolckmans nv Engineering Office Bolckmans nv Construction Period 08/2014 - 07/2015 The project consists of a production hall measuring 246 x 78 m, an office building and a building for technical equipment and a sprinkler tank. The steel construction of the production hall consists of symmetrical portal frames with 2 trusses supported by a row of trusses and columns in the middle of the span and columns at the facades. All columns have hinged connections with the foundations. The height under the trusses is 8 m and the total height of the building is 10 m, so the trusses of portal frames are slender. The maximal length of the trusses in the middle is 18 m. Because of the large length of the building an expansion joint in the middle of the length allows the structure to expand in case of thermal working, so that stress is limited. The structure has a fire resistance of 30 minutes. In order to obtain the necessary and thus most economical thickness of protection paint (for steel columns and trusses) the critical temperature per profile and per item is calculated in SCIA Engineer. Therefore a non-linear calculation is carried out (because of tension bars in bracing systems) and load combinations for fire situation are used. The fire resistance is checked in temperature domain and as result the critical temperature is given. Bolckmans nv Fire Resistance of a Production Hall - Beerse, Belgium SE
