ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUILDINGS |
 |
| |
| Saving Energy |
| Each of our steel fabric tensile structures is energy efficient. The translucent design allows natural light through the building eliminating or reducing the need for additional light. The design also allows the structures to remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing heating and air conditioning costs. |
| Green by Design – Cutting Down on Waste |
| Each of our steel fabric tensile structures is pre-fabricated and green by design. This eliminates the substantial waste associated with conventional construction. There is no need for costly and wasteful demolition work when you need to expand as well. Frame supported fabric structures are, by design, able to be relocated and expanded. This unique feature cuts down on traditional construction waste and allows for additional design options over the lifespan of the materials to further reduce the construction footprint on large job sites. |
| Lower Operational Costs - Saving Our Resources |
| The membrane fabric design reduces condensation and the formation of any mold or bacteria. No rust or corrosion ensures that your steel fabric structure will endure the test of time. There is no required maintenance on the building as with conventional buildings such as re-shingling roofs or painting. The membrane cover does not collect dirt or dust and will maintain itself in natural weather conditions. |
| Helping Reduce Pollution |
| A steel tensile structure is to ideal solution to avoid complications and protect your neighbors from offensive odors. When our buildings are used in Industrial applications such as recycling or waste facilities, they can be customized to contain odor and gas emissions using impermeable covers. Our membrane fabric covers provide excellent air tightness. Many waste management and recycling facilities choose steel fabricated structures because of their ability to perform in a corrosive, moist environment. Our galvanized steel framework helps protect against corrosion that a conventional building would not withstand. Our membrane fabric cover will not break down in environments with ammonia gases and other chemicals. |
| 100 % Recyclable Materials |
| Our structures are manufactured with hot dipped galvanized steel framing which simply means that it is dipped in zinc to protect the steel from corrosion. Steel is 100% recyclable and can be recycled an infinite amount of times, saving energy and raw materials every time it is re-processed. Most steel has about 20% recycled content. |
