C-ATSCAN11 is the Canadian Limited States Design version of the Anchor Tiedown System (ATS) catalogue. The ATS product line provides a method for anchoring stacked wood frame shearwalls in multi-storey residential and commercial buildings due to uplift forces caused by earthquakes and high winds.

C-ATSCAN11 includes the addition of five- and six-storey runs now approved in British Columbia. In addition to showcasing our newest anchor tiedown system products, this 44-page catalogue features optimized ATS runs that make the most economical use of our shrinkage compensation and other components. Use this catalog to easily specify, install and inspect the ATS product.
Expires 6/30/2013. Replaces C-ATSCAN08.
