Pirámides de Güímar in Tenerife
Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Rubb Buildings Ltd has designed and constructed a building to protect precious historical artifacts at the Parque Etnográfico Pirámides de Güímar in Tenerife, Canary Islands.
The Güímar Pyramids in the south of Tenerife are a complex of five pyramid structures, astronomically positioned to represent the winter and summer solstices. The park offers visitors the chance to view these amazing structures. It now also features a Rubb structure which will be used to house historic artifacts related to the location.
Fred Olsen & Co came to Rubb when a tension membrane structure needed replacing on site. Rubb provided a 20m x 25m BVR structure with sidewalls of 2.5m. The frame is made from hot dip galvanized steel and is covered with a durable PVC coated polyester fabric featuring sand coloured walls and a white translucent roof. It was shipped to the site in a 40ft container and erected in just six days.
Øyvind B. Kristiansen of Fred Olsen & Co said: "Thank you very much for your support and the good work your company has done in connection with the building at Piramides de Guimar. The people at the park and Mr Olsen are very pleased with the building."
