Rawlplug’s plugs used by the MIPIM Awards finalist!

While the project was being developed, some 21,000 of our fixings were used over an area of more than 6,500 m²! The R-MBA metal hammer-in facade fixing, consumed in as many as 8,000 pieces in sizes 200–250, is a solution that proves perfect for facades requiring high fire resistance (R120). Quick and easy in installation, our hammer-in fixing speeds up work considerably, and the wide selection of its variants makes it possible to anchor thermal insulation panels up to 250 mm in thickness. The R-TFIX-8S universal facade fixing, used in the quantity of 3,000 pieces in sizes 335–435 and 10,000 pieces in sizes 235–255, is characterised by a unique anchoring zone design that allows it to carry high loads and reduces the number of anchoring points required per square metre. The high rigidity of the matching retaining plates along with the reduced point thermal transmittance ensure stability of the facade thermal insulation system by minimising heat losses and counteracting the vibrations induced by wind uplift forces.

The integration of the old granary buildings with the new architecture on Granary Island posed a unique challenge as the project was being implemented. Recognised as crucial to the urban landscape of Gdańsk, these heritage features have significant cultural value. To combine the facades and structures of the granaries with the new reinforced concrete and steel constructions, not only a genuine engineering vision but also a meticulous design approach were needed. We are proud that our products were considered suitable for use in such challenging conditions, where the harmonious combination of old and new elements was crucial to preserve the authenticity and integrity of each part of the project.

Under the Granaria project, we worked alongside such contractors as ED-Elewacje and BRICKhouse, delivering products that met the highest quality standards. Thanks to the synergy with Korporacja Budowlana Doraco, acting as the general contractor, we succeeded in combining visual appeal with solid workmanship. The cooperation with leading developers, such as IMMOBEL, highlights our proficiency in the implementation of ambitious projects and allows us to consolidate our reputation as a provider of reliable solutions.
