Cover built to move with the pit.
Engineered fabric mining buildings for Ontario exploration and production sites — ore cover, equipment shops and camp structures, sized to your equipment and relocatable where the plan calls for it.
Mining sites need buildings that mobilize on their schedule.
Ore dust, Northern winters and equipment that has to move without weaving around columns — a mining building is judged on how well it handles all three at once. A galvanized frame and inert membrane resist the site's chemistry, and a clear-span layout gives haul trucks and loaders room to operate.
- →Foundation and layout designed and built in-house
- →Connections engineered for relocation where that's the plan
- →Stamped engineering for any Ontario snow and wind zone
- →Membrane warranty terms confirmed in the issued documents
Clear-Span for Haul Equipment
No interior columns — haul trucks, loaders and conveyors move through without working around obstructions.
Corrosion-Aware Materials
Galvanized frame and inert membrane hold up to ore dust and site chemistry without a rusting roof deck.
Engineered for Northern Snow
Stamped to the snow, wind and seismic loads of your site, from base-metal camps to gold-belt operations.
Relocatable Design
Frame and connections can be engineered for disassembly and relocation as the pit or project moves.
Equipment and material first. Dimensions second.
A mining building is sized around the equipment and material it has to handle — not a generic width off a price list. These are the inputs we use before any dimension is quoted:
- →Equipment that needs to fit and maneuver inside — haul trucks, loaders, conveyors
- →Material being covered — ore, aggregate or equipment
- →Whether relocation is part of the operating plan
- →Whether the building includes a maintenance, tire or warehouse bay
- →Door count and width for equipment and truck traffic
- →Site access, season and available foundation options
Send those numbers and we will come back with a building size, a foundation approach and a preliminary budget range. Preliminary figures are for budgeting only — final pricing follows engineering, site conditions and the configuration you select.

Remote sites need a different foundation conversation.
Mine sites don't always have year-round road access, and the foundation approach follows from that — a compacted gravel pad and anchor system on a site with seasonal access, or a slab where access and budget allow. Where relocation is part of the operating plan, connections are engineered for disassembly from day one.
- →Foundation type matched to site access and season
- →Connections engineered for relocation where that's the plan
- →Door headers sized for haul truck and loader clearance
- →One contract from foundation through membrane tensioning
Maintenance shops and stockpile cover often sit on the same site — lighting, heat and ventilation are specified differently for each.
Maintenance bays
Doors and services specified for haul truck and loader work.
Relocatable design
Foundation connections engineered for disassembly where relocation is planned.
What we walk through before drawings start.
Equipment clearance
Haul truck and loader dimensions mapped against clear-span width and eave height before layout is finalized.
Foundation type
Slab, gravel pad or anchor system, matched to site access, soil and whether relocation is planned.
Site access and logistics
Road condition, seasonal access windows and crew logistics for remote and northern sites.
Approvals
Permit drawings for your municipality or, on mine-lease land, the documentation your operation requires.
Remote and northern sites bring their own access and logistics questions. We plan around them with the building rather than after it's designed.
Different operations, the same site demands.
Open-pit and underground operations
Ore stockpile cover and equipment shelter for active production sites.
Exploration camps
Relocatable structures for camp infrastructure and equipment as exploration moves.
Equipment maintenance operations
Daylit shop bays for haul truck, loader and tire service.
Mill and processing sites
Equipment and material cover integrated with mill-yard operations.
