| Description: | The project concerns three individual construction projects: an outbuilding for social facilities, a warehouse for manufactured goods and a security guard building. The entire project is to be constructed on a green field site and should be completed by January 2006. Based upon results from engineering, geological and hydrological research conducted in the area, experts chose to apply the most convenient method of laying the structures’ foundations - deep into the ground on large-diameter piles. This would not be necessary for the security guard building, which is to be carried out in a standard way, using bricks and founded on a monolithic foundation footing. All buildings will feature disabled access, so that Knauf Insulation can employ physically challenged individuals. |
