protect your investment & assets
Whether you need heavy equipment storage and machinery, a cold storage building, or a general commercial storage building for raw materials or finished products, Calhoun’s commercial fabric buildings are the ideal solution. Calhoun custom-engineers products for versatility, durability, and the unique needs of each building project while protecting your investment and assets.
Fabric structures for cold storage warehousing provides numerous benefits, starting with corrosion resistance. All of Calhoun’s steel trusses and components are hot-dipped galvanized to resist rust, ensuring durability and longevity. The combination of corrosion resistance and effective ventilation contributes to the long-lasting nature of Calhoun’s fabric structures for cold storage warehousing. Calhoun enhances asset longevity with noncorrosive tension fabric covers that offer superior ventilation and air quality, preventing moisture buildup and reducing rust. Utilizing fabrics like HDPE and PVC, we ensure your equipment and products remain protected from environmental elements regardless of location.
Our custom-engineered structures are designed with significant widths and heights to facilitate easy access and movement, making it simple to load, unload, and handle materials. The design of fabric commercial buildings proves to be both time and cost-effective, providing a spacious and affordable solution for your warehousing needs.
proven to cut energy usage
Calhoun fabric structures are proven to generate significant operating savings year after year. In a recent cold storage warehouse project, one Calhoun building achieved an impressive ENERGY STAR score of 98, consuming only 0.45 kWh per square foot compared to the industry average of 6.10 kWh per square foot. That’s a total reduction of 5.65 kWh per square foot, or nearly 90% less energy use than a conventional warehouse. Thanks to the natural daylighting provided by our HDPE fabric cover, reliance on artificial lighting was dramatically reduced, resulting in thousands of dollars in annual energy savings and a much faster return on investment. Delivered in partnership with our New York dealer, Hybrid Building Solutions, this project demonstrates how Calhoun combines engineered strength and long-term durability with proven sustainability and measurable financial results.
BENEFITS
Without center poles, pillars or other interference, Calhoun’s custom-engineered commercial storage buildings allow you to easily maneuver trucks and machinery while handling necessary loads like cranes, conveyors or catwalks. As your business grows, your commercial storage building will grow to easily accommodate your needs with plenty of floor space. Our commercial fabric buildings offer durability, reliability and versatility for any cold storage building or warehousing business.
Calhoun’s cold storage and warehousing structures provide an economical and durable alternative to expensive metal and wood construction. Our commercial storage buildings may be repaired or transported as needed, and the wide range of customizable options tailor the structure to your equipment storage capacity and warehousing needs. Our fabric covers are designed for lasting durability while allowing natural light to filter through, alleviating the expense of energy costs.
With a variety of structure designs and configurations to choose from, we custom-engineer your cold storage building any way you like to accommodate bulk materials, overhead equipment, conveyors, catwalks, equipment storage, and shipping and receiving equipment. Furthermore, you may incorporate a number of extra features, such as HVAC systems or insulation for complete climate control.
Compared to traditional building materials, our fabric covers and steel frames boast low maintenance and operational costs. Fabric industrial storage solutions allow you to store more without paying the price of a traditional building structure. You will also customize your storage solution at a much lower cost. With durable storage from Calhoun, you’ll receive a quick return on your investment without compromising on your building’s features.
Calhoun designs storage structures that move from location to location. We design structures built to be taken apart and later rebuilt thanks to their durable galvanized metal frame and flexible fabric. Fabric covers are the right choice when you need a semipermanent structure or need relocation as an option.
Our unique 3D finite nonlinear analysis process helps us design a model that examines how your storage building will react under the stress of wind, rain and seismic conditions to maintain consistent temperature control. We will strengthen your build and prepare you for anything. You’ll spend less on repairs and maintenance over time when your fabric storage building is precisely designed to weather the elements of your terrain.
Testimonials
The City of Manhattan, Kansas needed a durable, high-quality structure with an open side and elevated end to move materials, loaders, and trucks in and out with ease. Calhoun’s engineers quickly tailored the design and turned around drawings fast, keeping the project on schedule without delays.
