Government Buildings for Public
Works, Fleet & Essential Operations
Government agencies, municipalities and related organizations often operate from facilities that were not designed for current or expected operations. A dedicated fabric building creates covered storage, space for vehicles and equipment, and additional operational capabilities without requiring every function to be incorporated into an existing structure.
Sheltirx fabric structures can be used for following government applications:
The same building can also be used to store equipment as well as provide maintenance and operational space, depending upon the requirements of the project. Open designs allow for easier truck circulations and equipment access while enclosed configurations can be used to provide additional protection where required.
Emergency, Temporary
& Expansion Facilities
Government agencies and related operations may need additional facilities for emergency response, during short-term projects, or when additional temporary or permanent space is needed for an overflow of operations.
Fabric buildings can provide covered storage space, emergency support space, equipment storage, vehicle storage, public works and other government-related operations. Based upon the requirements of the project, a structure can also be used for extended periods of time after the initial need has passed.
Relocatable configurations can also be useful for agencies that need to operate from multiple sites or have temporary projects. A building can also be expanded to meet additional needs as they arise.
Engineered for Government
Sites & Local Requirements
Government buildings can be installed within municipal yards, public works facilities, equipment compounds and other designated or developing sites. The requirements for each structure will vary based upon the location, size, loads, foundation, anchoring method and other conditions.
Sheltirx™ can provide site-specific engineering when structural drawings and calculations are required. Wind and snow loads, building openings, foundation requirements and anchoring can be considered based upon the requirements of the project.
The structures can be installed on concrete, asphalt, existing hardstanding or other suitable foundation options as needed for the local conditions and configuration of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are government and municipal buildings used for?
They are used to provide covered storage space for public works, fleet, equipment, materials, workshops, recycling, bulk storage, emergency support and other government operations.
Can a government building be used for emergency response?
Yes. Fabric buildings can provide temporary covered space for emergency operations, equipment, vehicles, materials and other requirements of emergency response.
Are Sheltirx Buildings Suitable for Temporary Government Facilities?
Yes. The structures can be used for temporary projects, emergency operations, renovations or other applications where a temporary building is needed.
Can These Structures Be Dismantled and Relocated?
Depending upon the configuration, the structure can be dismantled and relocated when the project or operations change.
Can the building be expanded later?
Yes. The modular nature of fabric buildings can allow for additional structures or larger buildings when additional operational space is needed.
How Are Sheltirx™ Buildings Engineered for Local Building Requirements?
Yes. The buildings can be configured and engineered to meet local requirements including wind, snow, foundation, anchoring and other considerations. PE stamped drawings and calculations can be provided when needed.
