COVERED WAREHOUSES

Cover Technology modular covers offer ideal solutions for the creation of covered warehouses with supporting structure in extruded aluminium alloy profiles interconnected by steel or aluminium joints. Cover Technology also has extensive experience in the production of temporary covered warehouses, to allow production to continue even under exceptional circumstances such as renovations or natural disasters.
The WAREHOUSE structure consists of an aluminium and steel frame covered with technical PVC fabric membrane. The choice of materials allows shipping low weights and compact volumes, rapid assembly and impressive resistance to weather loads.
This construction solution is applied for shelters for use in the Industrial, Events and Civil Defence sectors, thanks to a very rapid, effective installation system (approximately 1,000 square metres of shelter erected per day by an 8-person team).

CONFIGURATION
Width	Minimum 10.00 metres / Maximum 40.00 metres
Length	Standard modules 05.00 metres / total length infinite
Side height	Minimum 02.50 metres / Maximum 04.00 metres
Wind resistance	Minimum 25 m/sec / Maximum 41 m/se
Snow resistance	Minimum 60 daN/m² / Maximum 400 daN/m²
Cover fire resistance class	Self-extinguishing – Flame Retardant Class 2
Operating temperature	-30 °C / +70 °C

OFFICE structures are of modular design, allowing:

VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS (open and enclosed structures, etc.), thanks to the wide range of accessories and equipment.
INSTALLATION ON DIFFERENT SURFACES (asphalt, concrete, dirt, or sand) thanks to a special anchor system (with threaded bars, plates and nails or spiral bars)
DESIGN WITH A SPECIFIC SNOW BEARING CAPACITY, ranging from 60 kg/sq. m for the basic structure up to 400 kg/sq. m for areas with very high snowfall
Provision of CE MARKING of the structural components in compliance with the EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011 standard thanks to Cover Technology’s accreditation.

It is also important to note that structures are designed and constructed in compliance with the Italian Ministerial Decree dated 17.01.2018 (known as the Technical Construction Standards or NTC2008 with return time Tr 50 years) and in compliance with the Eurocodes.

The supporting frame consists of extruded aluminium alloy profiles, creating a lightweight structure that withstands all weather conditions. Roofs and side walls are in flame-retardant, waterproof, very tough, PVC fabric. Naturally, there is a very wide selection of materials to suit the different uses and locations of structures. The main materials used in construction of the OFFICE structure are:

MATERIALS
Main structure components	Aluminium alloy profiles
Base plate elements	Hot-dip galvanised steel
Cover	Modular sheets of Class 2 Flame-Retardant PVC / Sandwich panels
Side walls, if required	Modular sheets of Class 2 Flame-Retardant PVC / Sandwich panels
Doors or openings, if required	Folding vehicle doors / personnel doors
Metal cables	Plastic-coated steel cable
Supporting surface	Plinth not required
Anchor systems for concrete surfaces	Threaded bars fixed with structural vinyl/epoxy resins
Anchor systems for firm ground and asphalt surfaces	Steel nails driven into the ground
Anchor systems for loose ground	Continuous spiral coils or rods

Apart from the STANDARD PVC sheeting, the cover may be in:

PVC fabrics with blackout treatment for sun protection
Thick PVC fabrics (strong cover)
Low-emission (silver-coated) or insulated PVC fabrics
PVC fabrics with special coating
