Project Specifications
The Newbottle Estate Grain Store is a marvel of engineering and design, consisting of a primary and secondary steel framed building, crafted to meet the high capacity storage needs of the estate. The portal framed twin-span construction offers a robust and versatile solution for grain storage and processing.
Main Building
- Capacity: 3,200 tonnes
- Dimensions: 54.860m length across 9 x 6.096m bays, with a width of 18.750m and height of 6.70m
- Features: The main building boasts an internal, removable concrete wall system, designed to offer unparalleled flexibility in storing multiple grain types simultaneously, ensuring optimal use of space and facilitating easy access for handling and distribution.
Secondary Building
- Capacity: 1,000 tonnes
- Dimensions: 36.570m length across 6 x 6.096m bays, with a width of 18.280m and height of 6.7m
- Specialisation: Dedicated to enhancing the estate’s grain processing capabilities, the secondary building incorporates a grain drier in one of its bays, streamlining the post-harvest process and ensuring the grain’s quality and longevity.
Construction Features
Both buildings are crowned with P6 profile fibre cement roofs, known for their durability and weather resistance, crucial for the protection of stored grain. The sides of the buildings are adorned with 0.5mm plastisol coated metal vertical cladding, offering a sleek appearance while ensuring long-term resilience against the elements. Galvanized steel gutters complement the structures, providing efficient water drainage and further protecting the buildings’ integrity. The incorporation of 4.0m high and 3.0m high 150mm thick concrete panels reinforces the structures, safeguarding the stored commodities against external pressures and enhancing security.
