MINING BUILDING 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.
EASILY DEPLOYED AND PORTABLE MINING BUILDINGS
Calhoun’s industrial equipment storage structures are the perfect choice for the mining industry, allowing for rapid installation in remote areas, and are easily customizable, expandable, and re-locatable to meet your needs. Our industrial equipment storage structures are ideal for temporary drill sites, storage, or processing facilities, and can be erected on a variety of foundation styles including poured walls, demurrage blocks, pre-cast T-panels, grade beams, concrete piers, and shipping containers.
Our container line (CL) series is the first-ever industrial equipment storage fabric building in the industry that has been designed and engineered exclusively for container-use only.
The CL Series is engineered site-specific to suit any location in North America, and can be used as either a temporary or permanent solution. The shipping containers allow maximum utilization of the foundation for employee housing, change rooms, washrooms, and storage.
PORTABLE MINING STRUCTURE APPLICATIONS
The rapid installation process and customization possibilities of portable mining buildings make them ideal for many uses in the industry. With a wide-open clear span interior, our solutions offer optimal storage for materials and equipment. Our fabric storage buildings use the sturdiest PVC and HDPE fabric to protect your mining facility from the elements no matter what application you need them for. With their natural light and superior ventilation, fabric buildings are excellent for equipment storage in the mining industry.
Our commercial storage fabric structures are ideal for the following purposes:
- Mining equipment storage
- Bulk product storage
- Warehouses and storage
- Packaging facilities
- Oil and gas operations
- Manufacturing plant facility
- Forestry and logging operations
- Construction equipment storage
At Calhoun Super Structure, we have extensive experience designing completely custom fabric mining buildings to suit your specific needs and to stand strong against the harshest elements that you face. Our fabric buildings are uniquely engineered to withstand the demands of the mining industry while providing you with as much space as possible.
Safety First
The natural light and ventilation of Calhoun’s fabric covers provide 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.
Super Ventilation
The shape of Calhoun’s industrial equipment storage fabric buildings combined with well-ventilated fabric membranes allow for more air volume in our structures while offering a completely airtight space to prevent leakage of organic fuels into the environment.
Advanced Engineering
Our highly trained engineers, designers, and detailers have spent years building the strongest and safest structures available for the mining industry.
Clear Span Interiors
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. You can navigate the space in these vehicles without the risk of running into any supports. As your mining business grows, a clear span interior ensures that you’ll have enough storage space to accommodate your evolving storage needs.
Complete Customization
Calhoun produces fabric storage buildings in a wide array of configurations and structures 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. You can also customize the shape and color of your building for a cohesive look across your entire facility.
Temporary or Permanent Storage Structure
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 foundation styles, including concrete piers, shipping containers, poured walls, precast T-panels, demurrage blocks, and grade beams. With Calhoun, you can move your flexible fabric mining storage structures with ease.
