Extending an industrial building in Gualba for a new boiler

A 90 m² extension to a building at a solvent-recycling plant to house a new boiler. The walls are reinforced concrete for safety — they must withstand an explosion — and the roof is metal sheeting.

The building

Walls that protect

Reinforced concrete and a metal roof.

The walls are reinforced concrete for safety reasons: if the boiler failed and exploded, they must be able to withstand it. The roof is metal sheeting on a steel structure, a robust, practical solution for this kind of facility.
