SPECIFICATIONS
ANCHORAGES
Our patented anchorages installation system Fonda fast © allow rapidity, efficiency, and a perfect quality of installation of all footings…
Scope of work on footings installation:
Levelling and compaction of the ground
Digging reservation holes for anchorage and installation of iron baskets
Installation of our patented frames suspending anchorages over the holes
Laser adjustment for perfect anchorage position and alignment
Pouring concrete around anchorage and final adjustment of the footing levels
After 24h concrete curing time, steel structure installation can start
Most often, our distance between trusses is 3.00 m to allow easy and accurate installation of the equipment directly on the steel portals (every 3.00 m) by using self- drilling screws and a steel bracket. This bay spacing offers possibility to change/adjust spacing between feeder and drinker lines. The footing loads and layout drawing are sent before the start of the civil work.
STRUCTURE
The structure in 100% in galvanized steel1 and composed of C, Z and L shaped profiles to do the columns, purlin, and truss. The steel1 frame is fully bolted in situ by 8.8 quality hexagonal galvanized bolts. A specificity of the buildings is that the steel frame is totally invisible from inside as we consider that a poultry building must be easy to clean and to disinfect. That means all surfaces must be made of galvanized steel, be as smooth as possible and easily accessible with a high-pressure washer.
ROOFING
The roofing is made of wide span galvanized steel sheets (AZ 150 or Z275), colour: ZINC2.
All along the building, roof finishes with a bullnose providing an overhang of 0.6 m wide.
All self -drilling screws are Tec screws with bonded EPDM washers.
CEILING
Ceiling has a flat middle portion to reduce cross section of the house and thus allowing energy savings on the ventilation and on heating fuel. The minimum high is 2.30 m and maximum about 3.20m. The ceiling is made of wide span galvanized and painted sheets (AZ 100 or Z275) installed lengthwise (main air flow direction). Ceiling is fixed every 3.00 m against the web trusses. All self-screws are Tec screws with EPDM bonded washers Overlap between 2 sheets on the long side is sealed with Lap seal foam joint.
ATTIC
Inside the attic, laid over the ceiling sheets, 160mm of polyester fibre3 provide a high level of insulation to the roofing.
The attic space provides a natural air buffer between the outside and the inside of the house. This air buffer adds a layer of air insulation between the outside and inside environment
SIDEWALLS
The side walls are 2,3m high and covered as follow:
2.3 m in sandwich panel* (4 cm thick) R =2 m²K/W) sitting in a galvanized U channel on the concrete floor (wall is fully insulated up to the ground).
PVC flashing material around the minimum ventilation inlets are included.
The sandwich panel is protected by 0,4 m of PVC PANEL SHIELD protecting the polyurethane sandwich panels.
The panel shield is casted into the concrete slab.
Wall/concrete junction is waterproofed with a 1.5m polyethylene canvas folded between insulated panel and PVC panel.
PVC panels are protecting the sandwich panels while allowing insulation up to the bird level and providing a smooth easily cleanable surface for the protection wall.
GABLES
The FRONT gable is made of galvanized & lacquered steel faced polyurethane sandwich panel* (4 cm thick).
Dimensions of these panels are calculated and pre-cut at the factory.
1 double door of 3m wide x 2.5m high to enter to the production area.
1 PA door of 0.8 x2m to access the control room from production area.
2 service rooms of 3mx3m(1 for storage, 1 for control room)+ shaded bay Service room
Partitions are made of sandwich panel 40mm thick flashed with galvanized U channels.
There is 1 door to access each room from outside and 1 window on each room.
1 service room of 3mx2m (Feed scaling room) separate from the building between silo’s and main building.
Service room partitions are made of sandwich panel 40mm thick flashed with galvanized U channels.
There is 1 door to access the room from outside.
The BACK GABLE is made of galvanized & lacquered steel faced polyurethane sandwich panel* (4 cm thick).
Dimensions of these panels are calculated and pre-cut at the factory.
1 galvanized steel frame to support tunnel fans of 50’.
Below the fans, 0.4 m of PVC PANEL SHIELD protecting the polyurethane sandwich panels
CONCRETE WORK
Survey and positioning of the buildings on platforms
Digging 44 no of 700x1000x650mm holes for concrete foundation (in pick able soil).
Pouring concrete (25 Mpa) in foundation blocks and bases.
80mm thick, power floated concrete floor (25 Mpa) with 3x3m saw cuts+ sealing joints
Concrete apron of 0.5 m wide around the house.
No brick wall required.
PVC Panel Shield to protect the sandwich panels (0.4m high).
Water and electricity must be available on site free of charge.
Platforms must be levelled and compacted (2cm tolerance).
No compaction or civil work between platforms quoted here.
INSTALLATION AND TOOLS
We will send a Supervisor and a Team of Workers for the buildings installation.
We will supply all tools and machinery required for the installation of the houses (machine and hand tools + forklift and scaffolding).
We estimate around 2 months the time required to install 2 buildings.
To start the installation:
Constant Power and water supply must be available at every building platform.
Earthworks must be completed and platform must be levelled (tolerance of max 2cm)
Staying at Customer’s charge:
Storage and security at site.
Water and electricity supply on site free of charge
Workers accommodation on site..
Anything else not mentioned in our scope of supply.
Farmer/Owner is completely responsible for any excavation and earth works
