Warehouses & Waste Facilities

Steel Span warehouses can be anything from 8-50 metres clear span width. Larger spans can also be accommodated if required.

There is also plenty of room for racking with eaves measuring up to 8 metres high with unlimited length, due to the modularity of the elements. The roof design can be pitched or multi-hipped to create additional capacity at height above the eaves.

Logistics warehouses

Tensioned fabric over a steel frame is a highly affordable building method that achieve long-lasting, large capacity warehouses. Not only are savings made during the initial build project, but the practical design is engineered to reduce running costs and extend lifetime value. With natural daylight allowed through the translucent PVC fabric membrane, it facilitates a better working environment in addition to the energy savings from reduced artificial lighting. Logistics warehouses used to store parcels and shipped goods may be required to respond to fluctuations in demand for products, therefore the ability to install the buildings quickly without the need for foundations, and relocate them if necessary presents a clear advantage over non-relocatable steel structures and brick buildings.

Salt and Sand Storage Barns

Steel Span tensile fabric salt and grit barns can be rapidly deployed to provide an economical and low maintenance solution. Following an initial site visit and technical audit, custom designs to suit individual client requirements are engineered in-house. The galvanised steel frames and high-quality engineered fabric membranes are more durable than conventional metal or wooden bulk storage, designed to effectively resist corrosion and last in excess of 30 years. Supply and coordination of the groundworks – concrete base and retaining walls can be included as part of your build project in preparation for anchoring of the steel profiles. From drainage to door openings, every aspect of your storage barn project will be carefully designed, planned and managed through to project completion and after-care.

Waste, Recycling & Environmental Storage Facilities

The Steel Span building range is highly suitable for use in the waste and recycling sector, offering a very affordable and practical solution. Even when exposed to harsh environments, the tough, corrosion resistant galvanised steel frames and fire-retardant PVC coated membranes used in the construction are durable and long-lasting. The multi-hip structural design at roof level creates additional capacity at height, making them ideal for bulk storage and housing material processing plant such as hoppers and loading shovels.

The translucent nature of the fabric membranes allows natural daylight through, and the high quality, engineered coating reflects heat and prevents the build up of internal condensation. The flexible, modular design of the buildings allows them to be easily installed, extended, relocated and de-rigged to accommodate changing operational demands. Full-service customisation options such as concrete pads, lighting, sprinkler systems, flooring and ceiling mounted HVAC are also available.

Biomass Processing

Dedicated biomass power plants on an industrial scale require large capacity industrial constructions. With excellent natural ventilation and the strength to support high loads, Steel Span buildings are sustainable, low maintenance and low cost. Perfect for bulky organic material and able to withstand temperatures -30 to +70 degrees Celsius, structures are manufactured to the highest quality standards.
