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:

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:

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.

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.
