Pipeline Enclosures Used Around the World

Pipeline enclosures are an important investment and necessity in maintaining and protecting a pipeline. Pipelines can be subject to vandalism and protest, in addition to the already harsh climates they sometimes operate under. If you are looking for options to protect your assets, you may want to consider using a fabric structure. Alaska Structures has been designing fabric enclosures for pipelines for over 40 years to protect them from people and the elements. In fact, they created the longest fabric building in the world to enclose a pipeline at the Red Dog Mine in the Arctic.

A Better Choice than Self-Storage for Your ‘Stuff’

The self-storage industry is booming with almost 11 million households renting self-storage units in the United States in 2013. The cost of renting a unit isn’t always the most economical for households. A 10ft by 10ft unit costs $115 dollars on average a month, and on average people use units for two years. Without paying for any extra features like climate control, after the two years, you will spend around $2800. An alternative to renting storage space is to buy your own storage unit. WeatherPort® makes fabric structures you can use to store your belongings. They can have insulation, HVAC systems, and more optional features to best protect your things.
