Construction control buildings

Construction of a new control building was given a completion date of three and a half years, to be coordinated with upgrading the control system. 

Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the decision was made to construct a new control building of blast-resistant design with more separation distance from both the cycle gas compression and feed purification areas. Construction of a new control building was deemed the most appropriate option since the control building spacing and design were considerably out of... 

Only noncombustible materials should be used in the construction of control room buildings. While walls of masonry construction offer greater protection from external fire exposure, control buildings can be of pre-engineered construction if fire or explosion exposure is minimal. When the possibility of damaging explosion overpressure exists, the entire building design must be carefully evaluated. 

Active external fire exposure protection for control buildings is seldom needed since the primary protection is the passive spacing distance between the building and the process areas and the building s noncombustible construction.

Some of the early uses of lime in construction and building have already been mentioned (section 1.3.2). A major development made by the Romans was a blend of slaked lime and volcanic ash, which would harden under water, called Roman Cement. The volcanic ash contained reactive silica and alumina which combined with the lime in the presence of controlled amounts of water to produce a solid mass bound by calcium silicates and aluminates. Such reactive materials are called pozzolans after Pozzuoli, a city near Naples. Roman Cement was mixed with aggregate to make a time concrete, which was used for a wide range of products and constructions.

A collection of rules and regulations adopted by authorities having appropriate jurisdiction to control the design and construction of buildings, alteration, repair, quality of materials, use and occupancy, and related factors of buildings within their jurisdiction contains minimum architectural, structural, and mechanical standards for sanitation, pubUc... 

The results of the investigation also showed that estimating vulnerability curves by taking into account different structural parameters, such as base shear resistance capacity, is necessary, because the building stock in Turkey is deemed unsafe. Its deficiencies stem from the lack of control mechanism during construction for most of the structures constructed prior to the National Construction Control and Supervising Law.

The Dangerous Goods Division of the Department of Labour controlled all of these materials by specifying the construction of buildings and segregation from other activities. They also controlled the containers and tanks used for storing flammables or explosives. The compliance was usually in line with international practice such as UN codes. 

Because of their light, combustible construction, these buildings should be placed at least twice the distance from an operating plant as a conventional control building. However, separation between them need not exceed around 60 meters. 

The following guidance should be considered during the design and construction of control buildings ... 

Process-unit control houses should be located at the periphery of the process unit. The structural members and the interior and exterior walls of control buildings should be constructed of noncombustible materials.
