Bulk Storage Facilities for Salt, Sand and Frac Sand
Bulk storage buildings from Alaska Structures® are ideal for storing and protecting bulk materials such as salt, sand, frac sand, aggregates and equipment. Our bulk storage buildings offer clients shorter construction times, many building designs and multiple sizes. Our structures also have a free-standing interior that allows trucks, front-loaders and plows to operate inside the structure. We engineer our structures for safety and to meet area-specific wind and snow loads, as local codes or the International Building Code (IBC) requires.
Protecting Bulk Materials Starts With the Right Fabric Structures
On average, uncovered bulk materials will experience a 20% loss due to runoff, leaching, wind, rain and other natural events. The implications of not covering salt can be costly. Furthermore, salt-saturated runoff can seriously harm the surrounding area, water systems, plants, animals and people.
Alaska Structures has vast experience working with government and municipal agencies, public works departments, school districts and departments of transportation (DOTs) to create salt storage facilities of all sizes. Our structures are also suitable for seasonal (temporary bulk storage buildings) and year-round use.
Additionally, our team of experienced and dedicated building specialists will work with you or your management team to choose a salt and sand storage facility that meets your specifications. Choose from an open-ended salt and sand storage facility or enclosed storage building with end panels and an array of personnel and equipment doors. Additional options include ventilation, lighting, electrical and power distribution systems.
