EXPANDING WORKSHOP CAPACITY WITH A FULLY ENCLOSED FABRIC BUILDING
A machine repair company needed additional workshop space after its existing facility began struggling to accommodate larger machinery and an increasing workload. Limited indoor space was restricting operations, while carrying out repairs outside left machinery, tools, and employees exposed to changing weather conditions. The requirement was simple: create more usable workshop space quickly without causing unnecessary disruption to ongoing operations.
Designed Around Workshop Access
Easy access was essential due to the size of the machinery regularly moving through the facility. A large roller door was incorporated into the front of the structure, allowing equipment and vehicles to enter and exit easily, while a separate personnel door provides convenient everyday access for employees.
The generous internal height and column-free floor space also created greater flexibility for machinery positioning, equipment storage and maintenance activities without permanent internal obstructions restricting how the workshop could be used.
Operational in Just Five Days
Speed was one of the key requirements. A lengthy construction project would have created unnecessary disruption around an active repair facility, so the building was designed and planned around a rapid installation programme.
The complete structure was installed in just five days, transforming the available area into a fully enclosed, weather-protected workshop with minimal interruption to normal operations.
Solving the Space Problem for Long-Term Growth
The completed building provided the additional workshop capacity needed while maintaining the flexibility required for changing workloads and larger repair projects. The tensioned fabric membrane allows natural daylight into the building, while the durable steel framework and enclosed design provide year-round protection for machinery, equipment and personnel.
Instead of limited workshop space restricting future growth, the company gained a practical industrial workspace that was installed quickly and could immediately become part of its day-to-day operations.
