Good ideas for your new building. BUILDINGS
Your creativity. Our experience. The design of a modern building is born out of a need to fulfill particular requirements economically together with a certain architectural creativity. The fulfilment of these different needs requires up-to-date technology in the production of building components as well as the use of customer orientated computer programmes for planning, design and construction so that individual ideas can be translated into reality. 2
BUILDINGS Since the beginning of 1980 hundreds of Atlas buildings have been supplied to particular requirements. Throughout Europe buildings have been supplied for industrial, commercial and retail purposes. From small buildings for car showrooms for renowned car manufacturers to large buildings for the distribution of small packages. All supplied to the requirements of the builder. Every possibility can be catered for; hockey or tennis buildings, re-cycling plants, large and small storage buildings. To any length up to a clear span of 100 metres without difficulty. Everything at minimum cost to operate and maintain. Built by a local Atlas authorised contractor so that planning, realisation and service all remain under one roof. 3
Atlas buildings. The cost-effective frame for manufacturing and transport applications. The design of every building is based on specific requirements. Buildings of any length with clear spans up to 100 metres allow for all types of production processes to be installed without constraint as well as for specialised applications. We also fabricate all structural accessories such as crane beams to cater for even the heaviest of loads. Atlas s modern, bright colours make industrial estates and business parks more attractive. 4
BUILDINGS Whether for transport and distribution or storage, a modern-day building demands special planning. As such, every possibility must be opened up to the client. For handling and conveyor systems operating at multiple levels or automatic storage systems, an Atlas building is right for the job allowing for the secure and economic storage of maximum volumes in minimum space over a long period. At Atlas a building is both a roof over the goods and the framework for installing handling equipment. At the planning stage, an experienced Atlas contractor is available to advise and develop a client s requirements, and always with a cost-effective solution in mind. 5
ATLAS buildings. For retail and recreation individually designed for successful operation. Buildings for retail purposes require an enterprising approach. Whether the building is a supermarket, car showroom or a furniture store, the customer must find it attractive. Atlas buildings leave architects scope for freedom of expression. Open, inviting entrance areas and adaptable sales and storage areas, designed with specific needs in mind, are all possible within the Atlas concept. Steel, as well as other construction materials, is available as part of a turnkey package from an Atlas authorised contractor in your area. 6

Turnkey projects from an authorised Atlas contractor. Sports centres, tennis centres, squash courts, riding centres, indoor hockey, basketball etc. you will find that Atlas buildings meet your needs. 7
Your ideas need a flexible framework. The portal frame has a fundamental role to play in a building s construction. It is flexible in conception and provides the flexibility demanded by the user. Almost any requirement can be incorporated. The frame is designed to meet your needs using computer programmes developed to optimise the frame dimensions and weights. Both columns and rafters are manufactured from high yield steel using automatic welding machines giving consistent quality. All welded steel receives a coat of zinc-rich primer prior to despatch. Production is subject to regular external and internal quality audits in accordance with ISO 9001/EN 29001. The structural frame is designed with pinned bases which provide for simple anchor bolt and base plate systems and, ultimately, inexpensive foundations. Erection of the frame is quick with the added benefit of incorporating cold formed Multibeam purlins, the unique shape of which provides a high level of economy while the galvanised material used in its manufacture makes it virtually maintenance free. 8
Atlas roof systems for all weathers BUILDINGS Atlas offers not just one roof system but three to meet the requirements of the building. The ATLASclad roof with trapezoidal profiled panels is fixed direct to the purlins and can also be used as the inner skin of a built up roof system. The ATLASrib roof is a standing seam profile panel for use on low pitch roofs. The most modern roof system is the ATLASeurorib roof with bonded insulation. This gives long term reliability and quick erection which is therefore very cost-effective. This roof offers good durability especially where maintenance access is necessary. 9
The impression of colour and shape Masterline colours acorn brown petra wedgwood blue olive green goosewing grey An attractive appearance of the building creates a powerful impression on visitors. We have therefore a varied number of colours and profiles, either thru-fixed or with concealed fixings to present an aesthetically pleasing solution. Wall panels can be laid either vertically or horizontally. Composite panels incorporate bonded insulation which satisfies thermal installation requirements. black golden glow terracotta jade svelte grey merlin grey bamboo ocean blue moorland green Coated with a high quality extra thick plastisol finish Atlas cladding offers permanent protection for use in differing environmental conditions such as coastal and industrial areas. The design of the wall is flexible such that multiple different requirements relating to the building s useage can be incorporated easily. mushroom vandyke brown burnt orange white accent colours poppy red aztec yellow dijon yellow saffron eau de nil oakleaf green solent bleu tangerine orange linden green verona green 10
