Maintenance Solutions – The MTX Series from Alaska Structures
When your organization needs a high-quality maintenance facility, the Alaska Structures® MTX™ Series of fabric buildings should be your first choice. MTX Series buildings are highly portable and easy-to-install alternatives to wood, metal, and brick-and-mortar structures. MTX Series buildings can be quickly erected with less site preparation and foundation requirements than buildings made of traditional construction materials.
We engineer MTX Series buildings to be lightweight without sacrificing strength, and we have field-tested the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabrics and rugged metal support systems in MTX Series buildings for more than 40 years in the world’s most extreme climates. Third-party experts independently test our engineering to make sure it meets our demanding standards for safety and performance.
Alaska Structures has created more than 65,000 American-made fabric buildings since 1975, and our permanent and portable fabric membrane structures are being used for commercial, industrial, and governmental applications on every continent.
