Linking Up With a Temporary Building

Free Wedding Icon From Iconfair When hiring or buying a temporary building you might want to have it linked to an existing building. Often having some kind of weather proof link like this is vital to ensure full integration with existing processes and facilities as well as weather protection. This is actually quite a unique skill however and some suppliers will do it better than others. In fact, some may not even do it at all. A temporary buildings supplier who is experienced in building canopy links should be able to design something tailor-made for your requirements. Examples of temporary building links are: Linking a temporary warehouse to the factory, linking a loading canopy to the warehouse building or linking two temporary buildings together to create a larger overall space. One link project recently seen was to create covered access from a new temporary building dispatch area to the existing factory. The only trouble was a canopy link would mean blocking the main site road as the two buildings were either side of it. To overcome the problem the canopy link needed to gutter-linked to both temporary buildings and then have two opposite bays left open creating an opening and access route for pedestrians and high sided lorries. The height of the canopy reflected this being 6.2m to the eave. Other projects have involved a canopy link for a cast stone manufacturer. In this case the canopy was installed in-between the factory and warehouse building and used to store cast stone moulds which were previously stored outside at the other end of the site. Storing them like this meant not only were they not to hand for production, but they also needed to be dried out prior to use, both presenting delay and inefficiency issues. Once the canopy was installed however the moulds were dry all the time, immediately ready and on hand for production. Other successful linking projects are often associated with loading and unloading operations. Pallets and goods that are affected with wet damage are now becoming less and less acceptable with regulations and customer expectations becoming tighter. Goods moving from the warehouse to the loading area really need to be undercover all the time every time to avoid any kind of waste. By linking a loading canopy temporary building to the existing warehouse this problem can be easily solved. Although links are often bespoke designs, they are relatively economical and easy to install. A single skin steel cladding is usually used for the walls and a single skin PVC roof. Guttering is often needed around the actual link to the permanent building. Other ways to link buildings are to actually link them together. Often this is done when buildings are needed quickly and only certain specifications are available in stock to fulfil the overall sq. m. Linking temporary buildings together in this way can be done as much as required so in reality any size can be created if you have the space to build on and the budget to spend! Whatever type of linking you need with your temporary building it probably can be achieved. This increase in knowledge and what suppliers can offer now makes these unique structures much more able to integrate with your existing buildings and operation.
