ncreasing storage capacity proved to be ciritcal for Tradewood
Agencies, in Belfast, Northern Oreland. Its massive new warehouse
facility was designed and developed by Rubb Buildings.
The Triple Link BVE with a 101m span x 95m in length provides a
floor area of 9,595 square metres. This was the largest building that
could be constructed on the land available, allowing for traffic
movement. However this still created plenty of space to store timber
and timber products including, doors, flooring and plywood for
distribution in Ireland and the UK.
The front gables have been created with extended canopies over
the doors to provide some protection from the elements. This is
further enhanced with the gable of the middle building being set back
to provide an undercover area for the loading and unloading of
goods. The interior sidewalls were clad with magnesium silicate
board to provide a one-hour fire wall; the material is light in weight
and provides excellent insulation. On completion of the main
structure a 4,000ft

mezzanine floor was added to provide much-
needed office space.
