Recycling Buildings & Remediation Buildings

Guard-All Building Solutions designs and builds a selection of tension fabric recycling buildings ideally suited for the recycling, compost, anaerobic and remediation industries. We’ve worked with companies across North America to produce fabric buildings for recycling buildings, composting buildings, anaerobic buildings, and soil remediation facilities. We offer a choice of buildings ranging from 30 to over 300 foot clear span widths with headroom clearances for large industrial equipment and as much length as needed. With quick delivery and a competitive cost per square foot Guard-All’s tension fabric buildings make the perfect solution for the recycling, composting and remediation industries.

Tension fabric buildings by definition are buildings constructed using a rigid frame and a durable fabric membrane. Guard-All manufactures buildings utilizing galvanized carbon steel frames with an engineered polyethylene fabric membrane. The benefits of tension fabric buildings compared to traditional structures are lower operational costs, energy savings, naturally bright interior, quick installation, ability to re-locate building, flexible foundation design options and corrosion resistance. Unlike conventional or metal clad buildings, tension fabric buildings can be more economically relocated.

Fabric Membrane

Guard-All utilizes Nova-Shield II with Armorkote, a heavyweight engineered HDPE fabric membrane. The scrim is produced in a special weaving pattern to enhance thickness, flatness, abrasion resistance, and tear properties. The proprietary coating is used to enhance abrasion resistance, flex resistance, seam strength, UV resistance and longevity. The Guardian Series buildings feature a modularized fabric membrane connected with an extruded aluminum keder system.

A huge benefit to the HDPE material Guard-All utilizes is the energy efficient translucent qualities of the fabric. White and lighter colored membrane materials allow around 12% of sunlight to transfer through the translucent fabric which reduces the need for electrical lighting during daylight hours. Additionally, when electric lights are used near the fabric, light is reflected off the surface amplifying the total lumens in the building.
