The Conexx Group is a group of companies focused on the production of steel structures.

In Finland Conexx celebrates 10 years of operation during which over 500 Conexx buildings have been built in Finland.

Conexx was established in 1957 in the Netherlands and since then the company has built strong operations all over Europe.

Nonetheless, the company’s enterprise resource planning and management is still today situated in the Netherlands.

Our solid knowledge and experience in steel structures enables us to meet even the most challenging construction demands. In addition to having technical and professional qualifications, we have an excellent understanding of country specific and cultural differences of construction operations. We thus understand differences in production and execution methods, as well as differing demands posed by country specific climate conditions.

Our business idea is based on highly skilled and motivated employees, continuous innovation, modern working methods, and new manufacturing technology. All this supported by a highly qualified international board of directors. This solid foundation will ensure our continued success in international markets.

We take great pride in our product development achievements for example the FSC-rafter representing an entire new technology. The FSC-rafter provides all the benefits of a traditional steel rafter, but offers considerable cost savings compared to the traditional one.

The FSC-rafter combines material optimization and high construction rigidity allowing us to offer a high quality steel rafter construction at a very competitive prize. Therefore, Conexx® will continue to be a forerunner in the continually growing steel frame building market.

We have the newest production methods at our disposal. Moreover, our design and production is monitored using the latest quality and management systems. We are therefore convinced of our ability to meet the needs and demands of modern industry, business and agricultural sectors and are proud to be here and build Europe with you.

Shall we plan your very own Conexx-building?

THE COMPLETE CONEXX BUILDING PACKAGE

v

Our package is such a complete solution that it cannot be matched elsewhere!

The package does not only include the building itself, the architectural and structural plans, but also the building finishing supplies and freight.

We take the responsibility for ensuring the compatibility and suitability of the various building components. This removes a big risk factor for the buyer.

In addition, the pure scope of our building package and the fact that it comes from one source, ensures that the building is more cost effective.

The Conexx® building package is put together from separate segments. In our price quotes we clearly itemize the prices in each segment. This means that you as a customer are able to make accurate price comparisons.

Because of our careful and accurate planning process you are able to sit back, relax and watch your building being completed without problems, in budget and on time.

PLANNING A good plan is the prerequisite for a good outcome.

At Conexx® we have the best building planners in the business. Our building projects are systematically divided into phases where each phase has a specialist in charge of it.

The planning process is initiated at an early stage when the customer’s needs and wants are mapped out. This stage is of outmost importance to ensure that the structural engineering process progresses correctly.

After the order has been placed, the project is transferred to our team of architects for detail plans. Production plans, the project timetable as well as the logistics and assembly plans are then drawn based on the approved detail plan.

In conclusion, our long experience has shown us that well planned is indeed half done.

the foundation The building will be built on individual pier footings or floating slab foundation. The package contains complete iron mountings, pre-cut and pre-shaped iron, tie wire, and bolts for the installation of the steel frame. If required, the package also includes C-pack-moulds. In winter time the foundation can also be delivered as ready elements making work on site easier.

The foundation will be dimensioned to meet the requirements of the building site.

NEW! Conexx® C-pack-moulds which are delivered with the standard components. Easy, quick, as well as cost effective.

v

concrete elements We offer three structurally different concrete elements.

1. Agricultural buildings We offer concrete elements where the insulation is closed in the shell from all sides.

2. Insulated buildings We offer elements where the insulation comes through the edges of the shell as well as the top.

3. Cold storage buildings We also offer concrete elements without insulation for cold storage buildings.

B-1 160x1100x820 2x

B-4 160x1100x4690 1x

We use Finnfoam board as the insulation material in the concrete elements.

The wall elements are not subjected to load bearing weight.

STEEL STRUCTURES We only use hot rolled IPE-/HEA-steel beams. Thus you will have a safe and long-lasting building. The steel structure that consists entirely of IPE-/HEA-beams will be delivered paint coated or hot galvanized. Based on the usage purpose of the building the coating will be performed with the most suitable high quality Zandleven-paint. The paint coating is given a 5-year warranty, while the structural warranty is according to local building code. We always use 50 years as the working life expectancy of our buildings.

The strength of materials used is dependent on wind and snow load zones as well as the amount of support pillars used. The span between the rafters is determined by individual customer requirements.

The FSC-beam© developed by Conexx® represent the latest breakthrough in steel construction. The FSC-beam© provides all the benefits of a traditional steel beam, but offers considerable cost savings in production compared to the traditional one. The FSC-beam© combines both material optimization and high construction rigidity. This enables us to offer a high quality steel frame structure at a very competitive prize.

Conexx® has patented the FSC-beam©.

Rafters Steel rafters are always used when the distance between columns and rafters in the frame extends over 5 metres.

The wooden rafters are impregnated, cut to size, and have pre-fabricated special joints that are capable to withstand compression and traction loads.

The amount of rafters, their strength and installation frequency is dependent on wind and snow load zones as well as the slope of the roof and the actual roofing material.

roofing material The intended use of the building largely determines what type of roofing material that will be used.

The roof options are; IPN sandwich panel uninsulated steel panel or uninsulated Eurofala cement corrugated sheets.

The IPN – insulation boards have been fire classified and the building can safely be made P2 fire resistance classified utilizing the insulation boards.

The colour options are numerous.

v

wall cladding The intended use of the building largely also determines what type of wall cladding will be used. The cladding options are IPN-sandwich-panel or steel profile. Conexx® does not offer timber wall cladding.

The IPN – insulation boards have been fire classified and utilizing them, the building can safely be made P2 fire resistance classified.

The colour options are numerous.

v

ROOF RAINWATER DRAINAGE The rainwater drainage system is colour coated and made of galvanized steel plate.

The Conexx® package contains the complete rainwater system including fastening supplies.

SECTIONAL AND ACCESS DOORS Sectional Doors High quality paint coated galvanized steel plate sectional doors complete the building. The doors are 40 mm thick (PUR) and manufactured by Hörmann. ÃÃ

Optional extras: Electric drive system, remote adjustment, and remote control

Access Doors We are able to offer you single and double leafed access doors up to 2,800 mm x 3,500 mm wide.

Fire ratings EI30/EI60 are possible.

It is also possible to buy an access door without the building from Conexx®. The doors are top quality but of course also reasonably prized.

Sliding and Tarpaulin Doors Sliding doors are available in all sizes made with steel or tarpaulin surfacing.

v

WINDOWS AND MOULDINGS Insulated high quality plastic coated insulated double pane windows are available with 1–4 panes. The windows come either fixed or operational.

The building package contains all mouldings and other supplies that are needed for finishing off the building.

The perfect fit of mouldings and other supplies is guaranteed when they are delivered in one complete package.

It is also possible to use PVC or polycarbonate panel windows. These are cheaper than insulated double pane windows but still allows for light and visual appearance benefits. In sum, the building package contains all the materials that are needed for your building from eaves overhang finishing to window trimmings.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS :

LIGHT RIDGE

The light ridge is a very important feature of livestock buildings. It allows light penetration and it ensures that the correct amount of fresh air is available. The Conexx® light ridge has been designed for an optimal natural airflow. The livestock will therefore always have the correct temperature and the right amount of fresh air. At the same time the air also stays dry.

The light ridge is available with or without adjustable air vents. The number of animals and the size of the building determine the dimensions of the light ridge.

Alternatively we can offer you the SECCO Lumiridge – a light ridge that has adjustable insulated flues. Read more about these in Agricultural buildings: ventilations.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS:

AGRICULTURAL SLATES Swaans Beton has been synonymous for high quality concrete products for a long time. The company has been manufacturing concrete products for over 50 years at its factories in Heeze and Weert. The Swaans Beton factories are some of the most modern production facilities in Europe in its field.

Conexx® and Swaans Beton have started a close cooperation and we are proud to be able to offer you and your livestock these high quality products.

Slates for axel loads of 4 ton, 6 ton, 11,5 ton and 20 ton!

Tip! Use a 11,5 ton cattle grid to cross over the feeding table and you save on complicated and costly bridge constructions.

Thanks to the durable Anti-slip surface Swaans concrete slates are never slippery.

v

INSTallation Correctly timed and scheduled delivery, highly skilled assembly teams both save money and ensure that your building is finished to perfection.

Time is money – a fact that becomes very evident in build delays. Professional work scheduling and logistics planning pays off in flawless and timely progress of work. Most importantly it means immediate cost savings for both the customer and the builder.

Different types of materials need to arrive at the building site carefully synchronised with the various assembly stages.

Therefore, a building site has to have a detailed logistics and assembly plan to operate smoothly.

Building and assembly firms cooperating with Conexx® have over recent years built over 300 Conexx® buildings.

Some of the buildings have been built as complete building solutions including, floors, staff areas, partition walls as well as technical installations.

MAINTENANCE AND SPARE PARTS We also take responsibility for the products that come with your Conexx® building, for example Hörmann doors and SECCO ventilation products. Additionally we provide spare parts and maintenance services.

We also offer an affordable maintenance service for roll up doors where our maintenance person inspects and adjust your door annually. This proactively prevents potential problems arising.
