Creating Cost-Effective Oil and Gas Facilities With Clearspan Buildings

Oil and gas facilities require space for offices, warehouses, storage, and more. One way to get the required space in a cost-effective manner is the use of clearspan buildings.

Those in the oil and gas industry have a unique set of needs that not everyone understands. Just accessing the land for energy production often means having to travel into very remote areas. And that means a lack of buildings and other resources. Just to get started, they need a solution.

To get the job done thoroughly and as efficiently as possible, oil and gas facilities need space for offices, warehouses, storage, and the like – without wasting the time to build them.

Clearspan buildings are the best option to fill this void in the industry. Here’s why.

Remote Conditions and Time Constrictions

Placing a gas or oil facility in the middle of a downtown area would be incredibly convenient to access. Unfortunately, that’s not how the industry works. With most of them found in remote locations, the lack of nearby facilities and convenience don’t exist.

Though, taking the time to wait for a building to be built takes too long. Time is critical for those in this industry which means brick and mortar facilities are just not a feasible option. As a result, many have turned to clearspan buildings.

The ability to get the temporary structures to oil and gas facilities, and also get it erected quickly means work can move on without delay. And that is beneficial for everyone involved.

Relaxed Foundation Requirements

Of course, those who aren’t familiar with clearspan tents immediately assume that getting them set up so quickly just isn’t possible. What about the foundation? What if the grounding in the area of the gas and oil is not conducive to supporting a structure such as a clearspan?

Actually, clearspan structures don’t have any stringent requirements for their foundations. In fact, they are pretty relaxed. There is no need to wait for a cement foundation to be poured or for the perfect piece of ground to hold the supportive guy lines. Clearspan temporary structures don’t even have guy lines!

Multiple-Use Facilities

Gas and oil facilities often have more than one building at the location. That’s because their need comes in multiple ways – not just one. They may require modular office space to work. And maybe a warehouse for equipment or machine maintenance. And there is a storage facility to store all the equipment and machines. Maybe even a pimp station cover. For those areas that require round the clock care, having temporary housing and dining areas is a plus, too.

The oil and gas industry doesn’t just run from 9am – 5pm every day. So someone always needs to be there. When something goes wrong, breaks, or otherwise requires attention, it needs it as soon as possible — not when someone can reach the remote area. That means everything the team needs must be on location.

Clearspan tents offer the ease and flexibility required. Their buildings can be erected in no time and can be designed to meet the needed expectations depending on what it is being used for. After all, there is a good chance your equipment maintenance shed will not have the same specs as your office building.

Versatile Design

Things can change in an instant when it comes to oil and gas facilities. And one location may differ greatly from another. You can’t just pick up and move or redesign a brick and mortar building to meet your needs, but a clearspan building is so versatile that you can take it down, move it, change its size, refigure it, and so on.

It doesn’t matter what you need your building to do for you, if you have an option that allows for things to easily be changed and roll with the punches, then you are one step ahead. Even something as redesigning the layout underneath the tented structure can be done with ease.

Clearspan buildings will keep your production and efficiency up with little to no down time.

Temporary or Permanent

Clearspan buildings are referred to as temporary buildings as they are able to be taken down and removed without leaving any damage to the land behind. But, they are built to last for long periods of time. Some would say they are temporary buildings for permanent use.

So whether you have a facility that is going to be up and running for a short time or a long time, clearspan buildings are up for the job.

Want some even better news? Because they are technically considered temporary, these buildings often mean you will be paying very little – if any – property taxes. And that is always a score for business.

An Affordable Option

It doesn’t matter what type of industry you are in, finding cost-effective solutions to needs and problems is what smart business is all about. So, when creating an oil and gas facility, you need an affordable option that will get the job done.

That solution is a clearspan building.

A Breakdown of the Benefits

As if we haven’t already discussed all the benefits of creating oil and gas facilities with clearspan buildings, it is important that we touch on all the benefits. The idea is that those looking to find the best solution for their facility will understand just why clearspan buildings soar at the top of the list.

Check out these benefits:

  • Each building has natural ventilation – and a steady supply of fresh air. However, they also come with the option of an HVAC system for climate control.
  • Makes use of energy efficient, natural lighting.
  • Corrosion free frame that will stand up to harsh climates.
  • Durable construction built to withstand inclement weather.
  • An affordable option for buildings at facility locations.

No matter how big or small, all clearspan buildings come with all these benefits and more. Which means they are the perfect solution when creating oil and gas facilities.

A building that is incredibly versatile, affordable, multi-use design, and can be quickly constructed in remote areas without the need for a specific foundation? There are no better options. This industry is not and will not slow down. So, instead, it needs to be able to adapt to everything that comes its way. Why not use a building that will adapt with it?

Winter Foundation Coverings: Understanding Wind and Snow Load

Clearspan temporary structures can be used in any industry for any construction, warehousing or industrial needs; but as temperatures change, it’s important to understand the wind and snow load of these winter foundation coverings to ensure your inventory remains safe.

Your need for a temporary clear span fabric structure this time of year may vary from something personal such as a storage tent while you renovate your home to high-ranking tractor storage in the agricultural industry – or anything in between. These versatile structures offer the answer to many needs we face.

Like most things in life, however, temporary tent structures are not all created the same. So, while they are not only are they designed to meet your specific demands, the outdoor conditions where they will be constructed must also be taken into consideration. In the winter, wind and snow, for example, play a big role in determining specific requirements for your structure.

To make sure something lives up to its capabilities and promise, it needs to be created to do so. Let’s take a look at clearspan structures, winter foundation coverings and gain a better understanding of wind and snow load.

Snow Load

In general, snow load is the force on a building or structure’s roof caused by the weight of the snow (and ice) that has accumulated. Roofs are designed to hold a certain amount of weight before they can fail, increasing the risk that the entire roof and/or structure may potentially collapse. Depending on its design, this could be a lot – or a little – snow.

Code enforcement offices, either at the state or local level, set certain snow load requirements on buildings and structures that will be constructed. This is based on the average snowfall of the local area. It’s not often you see roofs collapsing in neighborhoods after recent snowfall – and these code requirements are why.

When it comes to tent structures, the same rules apply. The fabric must be able to hold the snow – or have a means of keeping its roof from collecting a large build-up of snow. Consider the standard A-frame style clear span tent – these have an 18° slope with the ability to hold a load of approximately 5lbs/square foot. In simpler terms, this is equivalent to about 3-4” of snowfall accumulation.

Tents of this stature are found throughout most of the United States, such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, as well as coastal areas in California, Oregon, and Washington state.

How Heating Helps Winter Foundation Coverings

If you are reading this article and scratching your head, wondering how you can invest in a large tent structure during the winter in Michigan, North Dakota, Colorado, and other areas with heavy snowfall, do not worry – you can still be covered, too. Literally!

All you need is a bit of heating under your winter foundation coverings.

Areas underneath the roof are naturally going to be warmer than outdoor temps. However, hours ahead of an anticipated heavy snowfall, raising the temperature in the structure is all that is needed to drastically increase the amount of melting snow you encounter.

To get technical, it takes about .51 BTU/lb to raise the temperature of space 1°. This heat combined with increased support at the legs, gable, and purlins will allow your building to have a snow load of approximately 40lbs/square foot. That is 8x’s more strength! With these engineered clearspan additions, a structure such as this will meet load requirements and building codes nearly everywhere.

More feasibly, areas that often see high levels of snowfall should consider a Tension Fabric Structure (TFS) as opposed to the standard A-frame we talked about above. The TFS option has a 36° continuous slope from the eve of the leg to the crown of the structure. How does this help? Well, the increased slope allows the accumulating snow to easily slide down the fabric of the roof. It is not the snow load that helps this tent and its durability, but rather snow shedding.

The durability of heavy-duty clear span tents during a storm.

Wind Load

Wintertime brings snow, but it also brings wind. Lots and lots of wind. When you have a temporary tent structure, you need to make sure that it can withstand the winds it is left to face outside. As they were during the Derecho (inland hurricane) of 2020 that swept through Indiana and other midwestern states, tents picked up by wind can cause a lot of damage and a lot of loss.

Wind load is the pressure or force of wind upon a structure. And, like snow loads, there are often wind load codes and requirements in various states and locales to keep everyone – including the structure – safe. Wind loads are often based on average wind speed or known windstorms that frequent (or could frequent) the location.

To protect a temporary tent structure against the damage of winds, the following should be considered:

  • Leg height of the structure
  • Width of the structure

These are the two most important variables in determining the total wind speed rating. It is important to always investigate your building’s engineered wind load and compare it with what is required in the area it will be constructed.

The Foundation Surface

Although you have many options, it is suggested that you have a minimum of 5’ surrounding all concrete foundations. And, if you are pouring the foundation in the winter months, you will need to have a large covering – such as a larger clear span tent – to warm up the pour area and adjacent ground. This needs to be approximately 40-50° for a minimum of two to three days – and longer while it cures.

As each job will vary, you will want to ensure that the ground area maintains the proper temperatures and that heavy machinery can get under the tent to do the job (such as with a garage door). Creating your foundation during wintertime is possible. And just think – all the heat maintaining the temperature under the roof helps melt the snow. That is a win-win.

Considerations for a Concrete Winter Foundation Covering

  • The size of the structure, plus additional area surrounding your foundation pour to allow enough internal heat to keep the correct temperature to surround the entire pour.
  • Entry points for workers may include man doors as well as a large heavy duty garage door(s).
  • When the pour is finished and cured, the removal will require heavy machinery to maneuver on top of the concrete to remove the structure.  This may require the pad to cure for an additional week to handle the stress from the machines.
  • Some companies prefer to get their initial plumbing and electrical set before removing the structure.  In this instance, a crane will be required to remove the extruded aluminum frame.

These considerations are important to discuss during the planning phase to determine the potential costs and increased surface area adjacent to the pour.  Depending on the start date, it may be beneficial to cover the ground before you begin excavation of the site; in this instance you may also want a garage door. Our team at American Pavilion can help you determine your exact site needs to ensure proper wind and snow load requirements for your winter foundation coverings. 

All About Safety

At American Pavilion, we are all about safety. When you fulfill your needs with a heavy-duty fabric tent structure, you should be able to have the same confidence in the ability of the tent regardless of the season. Our engineered structures ensure that all wind and snow load requirements are met, keeping your structure and inventory safe year-round.

Whether you live in the freezing cold or along the windy coast, there is a temporary tent structure designed just for you.

How Hospital Tent Rentals Are Helping the Medical Field

During this ongoing crisis, the medical field is in need of help. A temporary hospital tent can provide some relief for those working on the front-line of this pandemic.

The world can be a crazy, unpredictable place. For long seasons, things can move forward without change. And then, when you least expect it, something happens that may turn the world as you know it upside down.

That is precisely what is happening in our world right now.

With the introduction of the coronavirus or, more specifically, COVID-19, everyone in the medical field has quickly become the front-line of the fight. As the virus spreads, more and more people are in need of medical attention and find their ways to hospitals – many via first responders.

The medical field in its entirety has been greatly impacted without much time to prepare. Thankfully, with options of temporary medical tent rentals, their needs can be met with ease.

What Are Hospital Tents Needed?

Hospitals are designed for treating patients with medical conditions. They have a certain number of everything they need – including beds. On an average, ordinary day, most hospitals often have empty beds and a stockpile of things such as gloves and masks.

Have you seen what is happening now? Hospitals all around the world have seen such an influx in patients that they are running out of space. They don’t have the beds, personal protection equipment, machines, and more that are required to save human lives.

In the past, it may have been difficult to find a bed or an empty room. But, today, it is about finding what is needed to save a life.

Hospitals, as we know them to be, are crumbling under the weight of this illness – and they need a healthy alternative. Tent rentals are the solution.

Keeping Things Separate

Nearly everywhere you go, you hear words like social distancing, shelter in place, and quarantine. These are perhaps some of the most commonly used words in our current situation. And, do you know why? Because this virus is easily spread and it can be deadly.

Just because COVID-19 is taking the medical field by storm, however, doesn’t mean that there is not a need from others who aren’t seeking help for the virus. Babies are still being born, people are still going into cardiac arrest, others are breaking bones, and so forth. Where do they go? How do they access medical care without being exposed to this deadly virus?

There is a great need to keep things separate, but there is no time to build new buildings or even fix up vacant ones. The medical field needs a quick solution that will fill this need immediately.

Temporary hospital tent structures offer a solution that will allow the extra space to treat patients. These are assembled quickly and in a variety of areas. They can even be customized with flooring, sidewalls, and an HVAC system – replicating an indoor space.

This is the perfect solution to allow individuals who need to seek medical care for reasons other than COVID-19 to do so without risking their health.

Wide-Open Areas

Tent structures offer wide-open areas. This is incredibly beneficial because it means they are versatile enough to fill so many needs. And, truth be told, with all the never-before-experienced situations the medical community is faced with, they need options.

These tents can be designed as a triage area or perhaps temporary offices for first responders. They may be used as additional hospital space or simply a holding area.

With this particular virus, testing sites have had to be erected all over the country – and the world! And, for the most part, these sites have been done in areas that offer space for many individuals to drive through and get tested. To keep the area organized, clean, and free from inclement weather, a tent can be used. This will ensure that testing will go on despite all outside conditions.

The flexibility that comes with temporary hospital tent structures is what makes them so useful during this time. There are no extended guy lines and no poles throughout the middle of the tent that require you to maneuver around. Just a large space to use as you need – when you need it.

Storage Spaces

During any natural disasters, emergencies, and now, during a worldwide pandemic, the need for storage arises. The inherent nature of most people is generally good. So, when things go on that cause distress or harm to others, there are those individuals who want to step up and do what they can. And, often, this comes in the form of donations. It may be food, clothing, medical supplies, and other basic necessities.

In the current condition of our medical arena, it could be storage for ventilators!

The point is when emergencies happen, a makeshift space is needed. And, this space needs to be convenient and accessible. A tent rental is exactly that.

Quick and Easy Setup

Finally, when things go crazy – as they currently have in the medical field – you are not going to have time to waste searching for a space that has everything you want. You need space and you need it now.

When you invest in a hospital tent rental, that is what you get. You can customize the tent to meet your needs. And, it is delivered and set up quickly and efficiently. This will allow you to keep your focus on the important stuff while your new space is taking form.

Conclusion

With everyone worried about COVID-19 and the life or death situation, it can present with, the last thing on their mind should be their space – or lack thereof. Medical professionals need to be focused on saving patients. A temporary hospital tent can help with that focus by providing the space necessary to save lives.

Those in our medical field – the nurses, doctors, first responders, and more – didn’t ask to be in the front-line in the fight against a deadly virus. But, they are our heroes and we should provide them everything they need to do the job they were born to do.

That includes temporary space from a tent rental.

So, whether it is the novel coronavirus or the next pandemic to arise, be prepared with the wide-open space and easy construction of a temporary tent structure.

5 Things That Do Not Belong in an Industrial Size Tent

An industrial size tent comes in handy for so many outdoor events and needs. In fact, they can be used for everything from weddings to construction sites – and the many needs in between. Industrial size tent rentals are strong, sturdy, and beneficial. All this combined can skew your perception of your tent.

Yes, tents can be used for many purposes and much more you may never even think of. However, that does not mean they are indestructible. If used irresponsibly, these tents can be damaged and, in turn, create emergency-type safety situations for everyone encompassed by the tent’s fabric.

Before you put your rented industrial sized tent to work for you, make sure you know what to avoid and steps you can take to remain safe.

Grills

You may be tempted to slide your grill under the tent and get your cooking on. After all, the roof of the tent is so high, it couldn’t hurt, right? Wrong.

Grills pose a serious fire hazard. It only takes one drop of grease or fat from a piece of meat to spark a high flame on the grill. This may only be one large flame and it may only happen once, but that could very easily be one time too many.

In addition, cooking on a charcoal grill can lead to inhalation dangers. It is never good to breathe in burning charcoal and since a tent isn’t as ventilated as an outdoor area is, you don’t want to use a charcoal grill in these enclosed quarters.

Pyrotechnic displays

Live shows love to grasp attention from guests – especially when trying to keep the big-eyed oohs and ahhs coming. There are various lighting techniques and video screen backdrops that can get this done. But nothing excites fans more than a pyrotechnic display set to the beat of the music.

Unfortunately, as you have probably already guessed, pyrotechnic shows and tents just do not mix. They are an extreme fire risk and put everyone in danger.

Generators

Generators come in handy when using a tent – especially if you have erected your tent at a location that is not near an easy power source. These can be used to power up lights, cooking devices, and any other electronic equipment when used properly.

One wrong decision with the placement of your generator and you could have grave consequences.

Just as people can die while running a car in a garage, so it goes for running a generator in an enclosed tent. Even if you have sidewalls up, you can never judge the amount of ventilation your generator is getting. Therefore, you should move it outside the tent – and a distance away of approximately 25 feet. This will ensure that the carbon monoxide it puts off will not find its way back into the tent.

Heavy decorations

One of the most important benefits of an industrial size tent is they are strong and sturdy. Their roof is structurally supported and can handle all types of inclement weather and great wind strengths. Choosing to hang heavy decorations from the tent can compromise the structural balance and design of the temporary fabric structure.

When planning your event, keep this in mind and plan your decorations accordingly. If you have a particular piece of décor that you would like to use and you are not sure if it will create an issue, it is best to ask then to assume.

Carnival rides and other activities

There are those days when you have scheduled an outdoor event (say, a kid’s birthday party) and the weather is less than cooperative. If you have rented a tent as a precaution in case there is rough weather or to protect the kids (and parents) from the sun, then you made a very smart choice. However, if you decide to put things such as a bounce house, a dunk tank, or any various carnival rides underneath the tent, then not so much.

These items are not meant to be under anything except the sky. Should something malfunction, it could affect the tent which, in turn, could cause a lot more damage and chaos than you probably intend. In addition, many of these rides run on electricity – thus requiring a generator.

Keep your industrial size tent safe

Depending on the size you rent, your tent can seem huge and able to hold a ton of items. This perception could cause you to have a slight lapse in judgment that could end up costing you a lot more than you bargained for – even life.

Therefore, it is important to remind yourself that, although it may appear to be colossal, it is still a tent. There are still precautions that need to be followed to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

  • Most tent rentals are made with flame retardant fabric – make sure to confirm this.
  • Have a fire hydrant handy and/or easy (and quick) access to a water source.
  • Do not try to move or adjust the tent once it has been erected. Doing so could compromise the entire structure.
  • Consider using a light source other than candles. Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye and even these small flames can cause great damage.
  • Do not set off fireworks under the tent or near it. Remember – what goes up must come down – and that could mean directly on top of your tent rental.
  • When renting your tent, make sure to discuss what weather the tent can and cannot handle with the professionals. This will ensure that, should you encounter any harsh weather on the day of your event, you will know what to do to keep everyone out of harm’s way.
  • And lastly, have an evacuation plan. No one ever intends to have an emergency, but they happen. Be prepared and have a plan in place to get everyone to safety.

Industrial size tent rentals can offer the perfect solution to an outdoor venue hotspot. Remember that this great space is a tent and care needs to be taken to keep you and your guests safe!

How You Can Make the Best Use of Industrial Tents

Tent rentals are a great choice when you have any type of high-profile event that requires more room than you can have available. Industrial tents come in many difference sizes and shapes. That makes them versatile enough to provide the coverage you need and have plenty of space for every aspect of your event. Here are a few examples of how people have put these tents to good use for projects lasting anywhere from a single day to several weeks.

Industrial Tents for Outdoor Trade Shows

It’s hard to think of any industry that is not the subject of at least one annual trade show or convention. Many of these shows do take place in stadiums, hotels, and conference centers. When these venues don’t offer what the show organizers need, there is another way to go. The solution is to rent a tract of land and arrange for the rental and setup of an industrial tent.

The nice thing about the tents is that it will be easy to organize the layout for the trade show. You can set aside space specifically for each display under the tent. Another area can be set aside for food vendors, along with tables and chairs where attendees can sit down and enjoy their meals. If the show happens to include workshops or speeches, it’s easy enough to have space set aside for everyone to gather and participate.

Thanks to the fact that the right tent has a sturdy aluminum frame and the vinyl materials can be used to create walls as well as serve as roofing, you can arrange the space in any way you please. Best of all, the team that sets up the tent will be back the day after the trade show to take it all down.

Outdoor Concerts

Holding an outdoor concert in the local park or on a vacant lot is great, but what can be done about protecting the attendees from the heat or cold? One approach is to rent a tent large enough to accommodate everyone who has purchased tickets for the event. Inside the tent, it’s possible to set up a stage area, make sure there are an adequate number of outlets for the instruments and sound system, and still have room to arrange the seating.

Choosing this approach also ensures that the concert can go on even if the weather is less than cooperative. If things are sunny and there’s a gentle breeze, it’s easy enough to open the side panels and let the air circulate through the space. Should things get cloudy and the rain is falling fast and furious, close the panels and let the show continue. Everyone will be dry, comfortable, and have the time of their lives.

Major Political Events

Not all political speeches and rallies take place indoors. Often, candidates want to provide room for as many people to attend as possible. Even so, there’s the need to make sure all those attendees have a place to get out of the sun or avoid being caught in the rain.

An industrial tent can be set up in a parking lot, along a river walk, a football field, or any number of other open spaces. The speaker stand can be set up at one end and the rest of the tent can be reserved for people to stand or sit while the speech is in progress. Once the speech is concluded and the political candidate is ready to move to the next stop on the trail, the tent can be removed by a team of professionals.

Disaster Recovery

Any type of major disaster is likely to leave many people with nowhere to go. With their homes demolished, they need a place where they can enjoy a hot meal, get some sleep, and in general make plans to overcome the recent event. That’s where industrial tents come into the picture.

It’s possible to set up one or more tents in just about any open space. A team can clear room for a tent that serves as a communal dining hall. Another tent can serve as the place to set up cots for those who no longer have homes. There can even be space set aside for relief workers to provide people with access to first aid, signing up for temporary assistance, and even places to take showers and wash clothing.

If it looks as if the time needed to get people back on their feet will stretch into weeks or months, industrial tents can be used as temporary housing. Each local citizen can be assigned a private space that can be occupied until something more permanent can be arranged.

The tents for a disaster recovery mission can be set up in a matter of hours. Once they are no longer needed it will not take long to dismantle the tents and prepare them for the next project.

Temporary Storage Space

When there’s the need to make some enhancements to your manufacturing plant, there’s the matter of where to store machinery and other equipment while the work is in progress. One approach is to rent a container and have everything moved into it for a short period of time.

Another strategy is to invest in a tent rental and move everything into the temporary storage space that you set up on the property. Once the work inside the plant is completed, there is no need to arrange for the container to be returned. Your team can start moving the machinery back into the main building immediately.

There are many other ways to put an industrial tent rental to good use. From situations that require some type of coverage for a single day to applications that will be needed for weeks, there is a tent that’s right for the job. Learn more about industrial tents, the materials used, and how they can be set up and configured in various ways. That information will come in handy when an event takes place and there is the need to prepare a venue immediately.

INDUSTRIAL TENTS – FOR RENT

Industrial tents are used throughout the United States for a variety of uses. They can be rented, leased or purchased for both short-term and long-term needs. Industrial tents to rent are available for as long as needed. You can rent these tents for a week, a month or even years, all with little to no required maintenance.

Industrial tents have many uses and come in a wide variety of sizes. Modular in design, these tents are also known as clear span tents and are manufactured from an aluminum alloy and galvanized steel. The roof, gables and sides of a clear span industrial tent are covered with an extremely strong and versatile outdoor fabric. The frame and fabric combine to make for the most weather resistant industrial tent on the market.

Benefits of Industrial Tents to Rent

Industrial tents to rent range from storage, construction, lunch and break facilities, job site equipment storage, temporary warehousing and much more.

They may also be leased or purchased. Many factors must be taken into account before deciding if a rental or a purchase is better suited to your needs. As a general rule, if the tent is to be used for a year or less then a rental may make the most fiscal sense. Beyond a year, many decisions must be made if considering a purchase. The following should be discussed before a decision is made; cost to purchase, tax depreciation (over a period of years), ability to provide maintenance and ability to market and sell the tent when done with it.

These tents can be installed in almost any size, from a couple thousand square feet to over 100,000 square feet. These tents are completely clear span, meaning there are no internal supports. They range in width from 10′ to over 160′ and can be configured in almost any length. The peak height can vary from less than 20′ to almost 50′, depending on the width of the tent.

Industrial tents to rent are designed to withstand extremely strong wind gusts (often up to 90 mph). Because of this, they are the most weather resistant tents on the rental and sales market. They meet building codes in all 50, states and engineering certificates can be provided if needed.
