Protecting Your Assets: Fabric Structures & Shelters in Mining

• Mine Sites require designated tyre change areas, with a concrete slab at specified thicknesses, to be able to jack the machine up. Traditionally where operations would take place out in the open, a Fabric Shelter Tyre Change Bay provides protection and allows for 24/7 operation, regardless of the weather. 
• Fit-for-purpose – our engineers work with your specs to customise a solution to suit your facility layout and needs. 
• Provides a safe and ambient working environment. 
• Portable/Semi-permanent – Ideal for short-term projects or a 5–10-year mine life 

Also known as fabrication or maintenance workshops 

• Fit-for-purpose – our engineers work with your specs to customise a solution to suit your facility layout and needs. 
• Add endwalls to protect against the elements, reducing downtime due to wind impacting Welding operations. 

• Provides a safe and ambient working environment. 
• Portable/Semi-permanent – Ideal for short-term projects or a 5–10-year mine life 
• Utilise Standard ISO Containers for mounting system, which provides lockable storage, office infrastructure and more. 

• Cost Effective Solution for extensive sqm warehousing of boxes, components, pallet racking, lay down areas, transmissions, tyres, and so much more. 

• The fabric allows natural light through, creating an ideal storage warehouse in remote areas that do not have offices or services close by 
• Commonly designed with the clearance height of the intended most significant product, i.e., motor, generator etc., to ensure easy and safe transport in and out, as well as storage. 
• Options for endwalls, doors and ventilation; customised to suit your project. 

• Based on research by reputable mining clients, covering one refuel cell and allowing 24/7 operations would save $200,000 per year. This was due to the inability to refuel during lightning events without it, resulting in 3-4 hours of downtime per truck. 
• With 3-4 cells across various mine sites, mines save millions of dollars annually. 
• Refuel Cells also enhance the safety and protection of the operation and infrastructure, i.e., reducing the heat of the browser in extreme heat. 
• Lightening Protection kits available with all Shelters ensure that the operation is always safe. 
• Capture spilled fuels and chemicals more easily, preventing mixture with rain, and ground contamination. 

• Incorporate shipping containers for lubrication storage. 

• Fully enclosed structures with lockable doors create a fit-for-purpose facility for bulk storage. 
• Ideal for sand, mineral and chemical storage, i.e., ammonium nitrate storage 

• Incorporate landmark Armourtex® 400 Fire Rated Fabric and a smart ventilation system to ensure suitable storage conditions and corrosion protection. 
• In-house engineers to design fit-for-purpose solutions based on your requirements.
