Georgia Port Authority Brunswick, Georgia Ports Project

This 50,000 square foot warehouse will provide storage for many types of break bulk cargo and is composed of a structurally engineered, hot dip galvanized steel frame covered with a high tenacity, flame retardant, PVC coated polyester membrane. The building's roof is translucent which provides a well lighted interior environment of approximately 150 foot candles of natural illumination during daylight hours. The structure is provided with four motor operated 22' x 24' roller shutter doors in the gable ends and a 30 foot candle lighting system.

Due to the site conditions, the foundation consists of a galvanized steel I-Beam anchored with dual earth anchors located every 12.5' around the building perimeter. Additional concrete ballast was used at the building's four corners and to support the six interior columns. This type of foundation system was used to support the building on the sloping site with minimal site
