Port of Sunderland
Sunderland, UK
Rubb Buildings helped provide a cost efficient solution for Sunderland City Council at Hendon Docks. This versatile cargo storage area was needed to develop the Port of Sunderland's cargo handling capabilities.
In conjunction with SGW Construction, Rubb erected a 24m (80ft) span x 65m (210ft) long BVE cargo handling and storage facility with 7.65m (24ft) sidewalls. The design and quality of the structure provides and safe and pleasant cargo storage solution, with the hot dip galvanized frame allowing the maximum use of available storage space. The translucent roof provides a natural source of light and the customised structure ensures safe and secure access to the facility.
Marc Simpson of Robertson Simpson Ltd, the architect and project manager, said: "Rubb Buildings helped us to provide the best and most cost efficient answer for the needs of Sunderland Council to deliver on this project."
