Fertilizer Storage Buildings

FERTILIZER STORAGE BUILDING DESIGN

Calhoun custom-engineers fertilizer fabric structures specifically tailored to businesses who need storage for the unique properties of fertilizer. With experience building fertilizer fabric structures for businesses, we help you determine the right dimensions and style of structure for your needs.

ENGINEERED TO PROTECT AGAINST CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Fertilizer is a highly corrosive material so our hot-dip galvanized steel withstands much of the pitting, rust, and deterioration that most metals suffer. This makes the buildings resistant to damage while providing a strong, durable structure that lasts for years.

We offer an extra layer of protection for your fertilizer fabric structure when you are storing corrosive materials like fertilizer. Super Shield is our rubberized spray coating, designed to add an extra layer on top of the hot-dip galvanized structure to provide superior protection against leaching and denitrification.

Super Shield lengthens the life expectancy of your hot-dip galvanized trusses and base plates by guarding against deterioration and corrosion. The rubberized spray coating can be applied to your concrete and block wall foundation to create a moisture barrier protection layer, and to seal cracks.

APPLICATIONS FOR FERTILIZER FABRIC STRUCTURE

When you work with Calhoun Super Structure, we strive to deliver trusted services you can rely on for your applications. Over our years in the industry, we’ve gained an in-depth knowledge of our customers’ needs, and we engineer customized solutions to match these requirements. When you work with us, you have a wide range of options to help simplify your processes and provide the functionality and long-lasting value you need from a storage structure.

We can also build based on your dimensions specifications for width and height, so you get ample storage for your supplies. Whatever amount of fertilizer materials you need to store, we can customize the size to accommodate your needs.

You need ongoing reliability and performance from your storage structures for long-term and short-term requirements. Our products use innovative engineering and materials to provide lasting durability to handle your applications. To optimize your structure quality, we build with high-density HDPE fabric to protect your materials and help prevent damaging elements from getting to your fertilizer materials.

Advanced Engineering

Our highly trained engineers, designers, and detailers have spent years building the strongest and safest fabric structures available for the salt and sand industry.

Corrosion-Resistant

Our expert engineers and design specialists bring years of experience to create highly durable structures for your long-term fertilizer storage needs. Because fertilizer is highly corrosive, our hot-dip galvanized steel frames prevent rusting and corrosion. This dipping process increases the zinc coating of the structures and delivers long-term stability and durability.

Clear Span Interior

Calhoun’s fabric structures provide clear span interiors, critical to your salt dome storage and sand operation. The height and free span interior of our fabric buildings have no interior columns, allowing tipping trucks to maneuver without interference

Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Frames

Calhoun’s fabric covered buildings are built with hot-dip galvanized steel frames to resist rust and corrosion from caustic environments like in salt storage units. Applied to both interior and exterior surfaces, our galvanization meets established industry standards to improve the longevity of your structure and reduce maintenance costs

Superior Ventilation

Protecting your fertilized material from denitrification, leaching and other issues is critical in a storage application. Our breathable fabrics and carefully engineered ventilation help prevent moisture from building up within the fertilizer storage structure. The design allows air to circulate effectively throughout the building and keep the fertilizer in optimal condition. With our structures’ intuitive ventilation system, you can have confidence in the security of your supplies and materials during their time in storage.

Fully Customizable

With our customized fertilizer fabric structure offerings, you can keep your valuable fertilizer materials secure and ready for use whenever you need them. Our structures offer extensive adaptability to fit your unique operational requirements. If you’re looking for particular add-ons for your fertilizer fabric structure or you want specific features such as an HVAC system or additional ventilation, we can work with you to create tailored solutions.
