long before Collinson were over in Belfast to start
the building work.
The Challenger building system is based on a
clear span, steel superstructure which can be
quickly erected. This modular system is renowned
for its efficiency; the frame is covered with a
tensioned PVC membrane externally and, to
protect the steelwork from the corrosive fertiliser,
a PVC membrane was also installed internally
to guarantee longevity of the building. The
white tensile membrane roof allows daylight to
permeate into the facility, creating a light, bright
working environment whilst also minimising
electricity costs.
“
The project ran like clockwork,
nothing was any trouble for
the team. The double skinned
tensile facility provides the
perfect solution for the harsh
environments associated with
maritime storage. I wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend Collinson
and look forward to working with
them again in the future.

The new Challenger facility spans 99m x 30m x
10m, at the eaves, creating 2970m 2 of internal
space and providing Yara UK with the capacity to
store up to 14,000 tonnes of product at any one
time.
John McGaffin of McGaffin Contractors said, “The
project ran like clockwork; nothing seemed like a
problem for the site team!
“I look forward to working with Collinson again
in the future; the double skinned tensile facility
provides the perfect solution for maritime storage
in harsh environments, and I wouldn’t hesitate to
recommend them again.”
