Fabric structures feature rigid frame engineering, customized building options for portable or stationary applications.
Combining superior
quality rigid frame engineering with the proven benefits of tension fabric,
Legacy Building Solutions
now offers mining companies the industry’s
first line of tension fabric
buildings to incorporate structural steel beams instead of open web trusses. This engineering concept
provides a high level of flexibility for storage of bulk material
or equipment, vehicle maintenance shops, portable or stationary soil remediation facilities, and other fabric
structures used in mining or oil and gas operations.
Legacy buildings utilize a durable rigid frame in place of the hollow-tube, open web truss framing traditionally used for fabric buildings. Unlike
hollow tube steel, Legacy’s solid structural steel beams are not vulnerable to unseen corrosion
originating inside a tube. Additionally, the structural steel has multiple
coating options, including
hot dip galvanizing, red oxide primer and powder coat paint.
The strength of the structural steel frame provides
several engineering advantages, including the ability
to relocate buildings by towing or crane. The rigid frame also delivers
the flexibility to customize buildings beyond the confines of standard shapes
and sizes to the exact width, length
and height required.
Legacy’s straight
sidewall design allows
for the inclusion of a variety of overhead doors,
exit doors and dormers along the sides.
Structures can be modified to provide desired
eave extensions and interior columns. They also can be engineered to carry ancillary systems
that need to be suspended, including
overhead cranes, fire suppression systems,
ventilation and lighting.
Legacy buildings feature
high-quality polyethylene fabric
roofs that eliminate
the corrosion concerns
associated with metal-constructed facilities. A wide variety of PVC fabrics
are also available. The durable fabric allows natural light to permeate
the structure, while insulation can be added when required.
Installation is faster than with conventional buildings, and the design can be adjusted
for stationary or portable applications. Sidewalls can be customized and built with any desired
material — including
steel, paneling or siding
— and then easily lined with fabric
to prevent corrosion to the interior. Legacy steel components and fabric covers
are backed by a 15-year
warranty.
Legacy offers assistance from concept to completion, including renderings, foundation design,
installation and project management. To date, Legacy’s
in-house, professional installation crews have constructed more than 30 million square feet of fabric buildings.
Legacy Building Solutions specializes in the innovative design, engineering and construction of fabric-covered buildings
for several different industries and applications. For more information, contact Legacy Building Solutions, 19500
