Due to the strict legal safety regulations, the Rotterdam-Rhine Pipeline (RRP) was compelled to station its control room outside the site of the 11 above-ground tanks. The new regulations indicate that the control rooms must be outside the so-called thermal radiation contours. The reason being that the control room, in the case of an incident, must always remain operational to respond to a possible emergency.
RRP transports oil between the Port of Rotterdam and the Ruhr area in Germany. The location in Venlo serves as an intermediate depot. The current control room is still located on the site, along with the above-ground storage tanks.
For the new location, RRP was able to purchase a plot opposite the current location. The company is now in the final phase of the build of a completely new property. In addition to the accommodation of the control room, there will also be office spaces and meeting rooms.
Brand Control Rooms has supplied the made-to-measure furniture for the control room. A variation of our Focus Desk model II was opted for, of which three have been made. We also manufactured and supplied the video wall frame, various made-to-measure cabinets and acoustic solutions. Our visual designer’s colour and material advice will also be employed for all the neighbouring spaces.
