your reliable storage solutions
All field operations require several types of fabric buildings for mining, including command centers, garages, maintenance facilities and workshops. The versatility and mobility of Calhoun’s fabric buildings for mining sites make them ideal for each use.
Calhoun’s fabric mining buildings protect surge piles, bulk storage, mining trucks, sorting operations and transfer centers from inclement weather. Our fabric mining buildings are easy to transport and deploy in remote areas with designs that are customizable, expandable, and re-locatable to meet your needs. When the safety of your employees is also a priority, Calhoun provides reliable storage solutions.

Mining operations demand rugged structures that perform in harsh environments. Calhoun buildings are built to withstand heavy use and extreme weather.
Keep Mining Operations Moving
Mining operations often face unique challenges including remote locations, difficult terrain, extreme climates, and evolving operational requirements. Every Calhoun structure is engineered specifically for its installation site using advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA), ensuring reliable performance under local wind, snow, seismic, and environmental loading conditions.
Whether serving as a maintenance facility, warehouse, processing support building, or bulk material storage structure, each building is designed to meet the demands of heavy industrial use while providing long-term durability and flexibility for future site expansion.
Why Calhoun
Engineered to handle abrasive materials, heavy equipment use, and harsh site conditions without premature wear.
Ideal for remote sites where traditional construction is costly and slow, Calhoun’s structures can be installed quickly with minimal infrastructure.
Exceeds winds 150 mph and snow loads 300 lbs psf. Protects critical equipment, materials, and maintenance areas from wind, snow, and extreme temperature swings.
Corrosion-resistant materials reduce ongoing upkeep and keep operations running with minimal disruption.
When your mining operation is rapidly expanding, our industrial storage structures are the perfect choice due to their quick installation and relocation capabilities. Their flexible structures and durable galvanized steel supports can be relocated on a variety of foundations.
The natural light provides workers with comfortable and healthy working conditions, while providing adequate lighting. Our hot-dip galvanized steel frames support life-safety and fire suppression systems. Our optional flame-retardant fabric covers provides further safety and protection to your workers and structure.
Designed specifically to meet your mining site’s needs. Our structures can be customized to accommodate bulk materials, large equipment, overhead equipment, and even shipping and receiving equipment. If your mining materials require climate control, you can incorporate HVAC systems into your design.
Calhoun’s fabric covers don’t have the interference of pillars, center poles, or other support structures in the middle, so you never lose space that you could use for storage. This type of structure is excellent for storing large trucks and pieces of mining equipment.
Tell us about your project goals, building requirements, site location, and intended use. Whether you need bunk housing, bulk material and ore storage, or warehousing for parts and supplies, our team will help identify the right building solution for your operation and budget.
Once we understand your needs, we review key project details including building dimensions, access requirements, fabric options, doors, ventilation, insulation, and site conditions. We also evaluate local wind, snow, and environmental loads to ensure the structure is designed specifically for your location.
After project approval, our engineering team performs a comprehensive site-specific review using advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Once engineering is complete, the steel framework is fabricated, hot-dip galvanized, and prepared for shipment alongside the fabric building system.
Calhoun offers installation services through experienced crews or can support your preferred contractor. Following installation, our team remains available for inspections, maintenance, repairs, fabric recovering, and relocation services to help maximize the lifespan of your investment.
