Quonset Huts got their first use in navy operations during World War II. Named for the Naval Air Station where the hut first appeared, it can serve a variety of purposes today. These hooped buildings serve housing needs, workshops, mining operations and research camps, and more. There is a variety of benefits to using Quonset Huts in private and public business operations. These benefits include cost savings, flexible design, customization, durability, easy and fast set up, and effective use of space. In addition to operational benefits, these huts have less environmental impact than traditional buildings. Alaska Structures designs huts that will maximize energy efficiency and eliminate wastes.
Versatile, strong, and portable, tension fabric buildings present many advantages over similar-sized wood, metal, pole, and other traditional structures.
Equipment storage and warehouse buildings relied on sheet metal and steel as the main source of materials for these buildings. It was cheaper to use sheet metal and steel to make buildings for storage and warehouses than traditional brick-and-mortar materials. With recent advancements, however, steel and sheet metal are no longer the most cost-effective options when building these structures. Fabric buildings are using fabrics that are stronger than ever, and able to last through harsh weather and working conditions. Alaska Structures specializes in making fabric buildings and have some of the strongest buildings currently on the market. Explore the benefits of fabric structures over traditional buildings including: custom design, eco-friendly design, more space, and faster assembly.
Traditional manufacturing buildings used metal or brick in their construction, materials noted for being strong and sturdy. However, advancements in technology provide stronger fabrics and a new building solution for manufacturers. Fabric structures help reduce costs for operations by being quick to set up and using affordable materials. Not only do fabric structures save time and money, they are energy-efficient, have pleasant work conditions, and long-lasting. They allow more natural light and insulated, saving money on power. In addition, they can be used multiple times and easily removed unlike demolishing buildings, which takes time. The information presented will demonstrate how fabric structures improve manufacturing operations.
You may have your operations housed in an old building, wasting energy and driving up costs due to poor insulation, etc. Before you begin upgrades, it’s important to explore all your options for repairing an old structure or building a new one. Sometimes repairing an old structure can be just as expensive as building a new one, and both take a lot of time. Another option is to use a fabric building to support your operations, as they are fast and easy to setup. In addition, they are typically less costly than upgrades or a building a brick-and-mortar structure. Alaska Structures designs fabric structures with a host of benefits and ways to save and increase energy efficiency.
ISO shipping containers provide a way for intermodal transport, shipping items from the ship to the rails and then to trucks. This versatility doesn’t translate to housing and camping, however some commercial and governmental operations use them for this purpose. Imagine trying to sleep or work inside a metal crate with no windows or insulation. Those aren’t optimal conditions to live or work in. A better option for a camp system would be a fabric structure, designed to house people and equipment. Factors that make fabric structures a better option are safety, shipping costs, portability, construction costs, versatility, and energy efficiency.
Nationally and globally there have been efforts to reduce waste and pollution on our planet, including the recent Paris Agreement. With global warming and new legislation, operations must use energy-efficient and eco-friendly buildings to help the planet and avoid lawsuits. Green buildings efficiently use energy, protect occupant health and reduce waste and pollution according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Alaska Structures offers a solution for operations managers that will follow EPA standards while not increasing operation costs a lot. Their fabric structures are equipped with lots of options that cut down energy costs, are reusable, and comfortable for employees to work in.
