Abstract


The set of buildings constructed in Wesel by Siemens-Schuckertwerke is a factory of industrial turbines. The site has a railway siding, which greatly helps the transport of raw materials and finished articles. In addition to the industrial naves, there are offices, social amenities, and administrative buildings. The workshop naves have a reinforced concrete structure, and on the inner columns, longitudinal reinforced concrete girders support a travelling crane. The roof of these naves is provided with skylights, inclined at 45° to the horizontal, and symmetrically arranged in pairs. The roof is protected with a Siporex insulating layer, covered with two sheets of bitumen impregnated cardboard. The glazing of the skylights is Thermolux.
