Balborough, UK

Providing a modern, clean, efficient facility to wash and service a new fleet of articulated lorry trailers was a key requirement when Tesco the UK's most successful supermarket chain com-missioned Rubb Buildings to provide the Distribution Centre with a new vehicle maintenance service unit in Barlborough, near Chesterfield in the UK.

Rubb Buildings met the challenge by providing a BVR building with a span of 14 metres (45.92') x 18 metres 59.04') length and 6 metre (19.7') high side-walls. The facility has been constructed to accommodate two articulated trailers at a time. Access to the building is via two separate high roller shutter doors. The location of the doors allows the vehicles to reverse the trailers into the garage, position the trailer within the work bay and disengage leaving the trailer fully under cover for the maintenance crew to begin work.

The use of a white semi translucent roof fabric provides a bright interior and safer working envi-ronment. Energy costs are lower because the need for artificial lighting is reduced in daytime hours. In addition, the heat reflectivity of the white roof surface helps keep the building cooler.
