Demolition of the cereal elevator building located in the conservation protection zone in the aspect of technical, functional-utility and economic conditions

Abstract

The article presents a description of the technical condition of the Grain Elevator building situated on the port quay, which after many years of operation has been decommissioned. The immediate reason for the cessation of operation was the change in the use profile of the port quay, which caused the handling of other goods at the quay than the bulk materials originally stored in Elewator Zbożowy. The work contains a detailed analysis of the technical condition of the building, also taking into account the functional and utility aspect as well as the economics of renovation works. The article showed that despite the location of the building in the conservation protection zone, the optimal solution was the demolition of Grain Elevator and its reconstruction of a new warehouse facility with parameters adapted to the current needs and target handling capacity of the port quay.
