THE PROJECT
In November, 2011, Universal Fabric Structures installed a 1,680m2 tensioned fabric
stockpile cover in Indonesia.
In response to our client’s specific needs we have offered a stockpiling solution in
the form of a 40m x 42m S-Span Curved profile structure which is easy to erect,
quick to dismantle and fully relocatable. The structure has been designed around
the client’s requirements of fully open gable ends with sides open to a height of 5.7m
when set on 2,500mm high concrete plinths. The stockpile cover is for a coal store
which could be susceptible to spontaneous combustion. In order to manage this risk
the structure has been clad in 6m bay panels which can be replaced if necessary.
Premium Ferrari 702 PVC fabric was selected as a high quality and flame retardant
material with a 7 year warranty and expected lifespan of 15+ years. Included in
the project was the design and engineering of the structure as well as the supply,
fabrication, PVC membrane, aluminium extrusions and the strand bracing cables as
well as galvanizing of the structural steel.
Universal Fabric Structures has a long and established track record of providing
high quality fabric structures for the mining industry and have the capability to
manage projects across a range of mining applications throughout Australasia and
worldwide.
