usability and convenience you need
With recycling structures customized to meet your needs, we make the process simpler for you. Our designs provide the usability and convenience you need, and we deliver the functionality to complete projects and ensure you’re maintaining sustainable processes. Whatever your applications, you can rely on our durable, well-ventilated waste storage building solutions to help you manage your requirements.
Calhoun designs and engineers waste and recycling fabric structures with clear span interiors to offer maximum functionality, odor control, and durability for your waste and recycling operation. Our naturally lit, bright interiors make handling and sorting waste, recycling, and compost easy and economical.
Recycling operations require durable structures that stand up to corrosive materials and constant use. Calhoun buildings provide reliable protection while maintaining accessibility and airflow.
Why Calhoun
Built to handle exposure to harsh, abrasive, and corrosive materials common in recycling environments.
Engineered for continuous, heavy-duty use with minimal structural wear over time.
Wide-span layouts support high-volume throughput and efficient material handling.
Materials and design reduce ongoing maintenance requirements in tough conditions.
For processing, storage and day-to-day operations, maintaining excellent airflow and circulation throughout the building can help workers stay productive and energized throughout the day.
Calhoun’s non-conductive fabric membranes allow for more air tightness to prevent leakage of waste fuels into the 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 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.
