Protect Your Assets with Fabric Structures
Having an efficient sugar refinery is critical for maintain product quality and streamline operations. Traditional commercial methods may not always meet the unique needs of sugar refinery facilities. Calhoun Super Structure provides specialized fabric structures designed to protect and preserve your sugar supply.
Our storage solutions are constructed using hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric for durability and long-lasting performance. These structures feature spacious interiors and easy access, making them ideal for managing bulk sugar refinery. Whether you need a standalone refinery solution or a complement to your existing facility, Calhoun structures deliver reliable protection and enhanced operational efficiency.
GET WHITE PAPER: INSIDE THE BUILD – CRITICAL DESIGN ELEMENTS OF FABRIC
Sugar storage demands protection from moisture and contamination. Calhoun fabric structures provide enclosed environments with consistent airflow to preserve product integrity and support efficient handling.
Why Calhoun
Ventilated fabric design helps reduce condensation, preventing clumping and preserving product quality during storage.
Enclosed environments protect sugar from contamination while maintaining consistent internal conditions.
Wide-span interiors reach up to 250′ wide without poles, pillars, or other interior interferences, providing maximum space for smooth movement of loaders and conveyors.
Hot dip galvanized steel frames and componentry withstand moisture exposure, ensuring long-term durability in processing environments.
Our fabric covers are made from high-density HDPE fabric, and our steel frame is hot-dipped galvanized to ensure durability and longevity. You can have confidence that you’ll get long-term performance from our facilities to protect your assets.
Our sugar refinery solutions are designed for maximum airflow and odor control, creating an optimal environment for your applications. Our fabrics allow increased air circulation and help keep the temperature steady inside the building, maintaining a drier environment.
Every Calhoun structure undergoes advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate real-world wind, snow, and seismic loads. This site-specific engineering process helps ensure long-term structural performance and reliability.
High-performance translucent HDPE fabric covers help lower energy consumption and reduce operating costs compared to traditional building systems.
Tell us about your project goals, building requirements, site location, and intended use. Whether you need warehousing, storage, manufacturing space, or equipment protection, 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.
