Portable Fabric Buildings

Alaska Structures® products are designed for long-lasting, rugged durability  — we create high-quality fabric buildings engineered for remote and demanding environments, such as those found in the mining industry, that utilize compact-packing methods, reducing the overall logistical burden and cost for shipping a prefabricated building solution to remote locations.

We can achieve this since we engineer our fabric buildings with high-strength frames to meet the area-specific wind and snow loads of a particular terrain or climate. The high-strength frame systems of our fabric buildings can be made using the following:

• Lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum
• Galvanized steel
• Fiberglass

The fast installation speed of our tension fabric structures is helped by the several modular anchoring and foundation options we offer, depending on whether you’ll need precast concrete block foundations, intermodal shipping container foundations, or wooden ski platforms. 

These portable fabric buildings are commonly used across mining operations for exploration camps, maintenance facilities, equipment storage, and operational support in remote locations. Their adaptability makes them well-suited for both temporary and long-term mining projects.

In addition to making high-performance fabric buildings, we also make shipping containers to help facilitate fast and easy shipments.

Engineered for Quick Relocation & Rapid Deployment

Alaska Structures has in-house engineers and design experts. Our experts create highly efficient and portable fabric buildings that feature minimal foundation requirements. We offer different anchoring solutions to secure our fabric building systems on any level (or type) of surface. This includes dirt, gravel, sand, concrete slabs, footers, pilings, and wood platforms. 

Our fabric structures are designed for rapid installation, helping reduce construction schedules. Unlike other “instant” structures, they can be assembled without the need for expensive supervisors or trained setup crews. No prior experience or specialized training is required.

Each structure is designed to remain in place for the duration of your project as a permanent fabric building. By design, these same structures can also be easily taken down and relocated, supporting both temporary and long-term operational needs.

These are but a few of the cost-saving benefits of choosing engineered fabric buildings from Alaska Structures. Investing in a high-quality fabric structure can save you money and time. This allows you to focus on the success of your projects. 

Our Portable Fabric Buildings Ship in Reusable Storage Containers

Our Rotomold containers are used for worldwide shipments and storing fabric buildings from Alaska Structures. Made of high-quality plastic, our rotationally molded containers are a rugged, stackable, and forkliftable shipping solution. 

We offer a selection of rotomold container sizes and colors to meet your shipping needs. 

Designed with transportation efficiency in mind, our portable fabric buildings can also be shipped using alternative reusable and modular systems that help simplify logistics and reduce transportation costs to remote mining sites.

Increased Shipping Options for Portable Fabric Buildings

Not only do we ship fabric buildings in rotomold containers, we offer alternative shipping options. Other methods include carry bag systems, wood pallets, wooden crates, aluminum containers, and intermodal shipping (ISO) containers. 

For projects requiring maximum mobility, such as early-stage exploration or rapidly changing mining operations, our carry bag systems allow portable fabric buildings to be transported by truck, aircraft, or helicopter.
