A Weighty Issue for Norwegian Engineers
Green Building
Weight and its related issues are a key point of focus for engineers undertaking projects that will be put under high load pressures.
While these kinds of issues are especially relevant in bridge developments, where distribution of mass weight is key, other projects also need to pay special attention to the concept of weight.
One development that forced engineers to tackle a weighty issue is the recently completed Gullesfjord Weight Control Station located in Troms, Norway. Designers of the facility, which functions as a truck weighing station, were tasked with developing a facility that would be put under high weight loads and heavy levels of stress and traffic.
This is a building that would need to be engineered in order to be highly durable and could meet the increased projected traffic flow of the area, catering to functional needs of the trucks and their drivers....
