The mining industry is evolving rapidly as companies face growing pressure to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability. At the core of this transformation are innovative infrastructure solutions—like those from Legacy Building Solutions—which support operational performance while meeting environmental and regulatory demands. This overview explores how infrastructure innovations are helping reshape modern mining and how Legacy provides flexible, durable, and cost-effective building solutions.
Legacy’s custom-engineered tension fabric buildings offer a new level of performance for mining operations. These structures are designed to withstand harsh conditions—dust, wind, snow, and corrosive environments—making them ideal for use across surface and underground sites. Compared to conventional buildings, Legacy structures install faster, last longer, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Applications include:
Unlike many traditional tension fabric structures, Legacy buildings are engineered with a rigid steel frame, allowing them to support significant loads—including heavy conveyor systems and overhead equipment. This makes them especially valuable for bulk material handling on mining sites, where elevated conveyors and processing infrastructure are essential. It’s a capability that sets Legacy apart and may not be fully recognized within the mining sector.
To further protect your investment, our structural steel frames are available with industry-leading corrosion-resistant coatings, making them highly durable in the corrosive and high-moisture environments common in mining. Whether it's salt, acidic materials, or humidity, Legacy’s coatings help extend building life and minimize costly maintenance.
Legacy buildings feature wide-open interiors that support safer, more productive workspaces. Natural light is available in non-insulated designs, while insulated structures utilize a highly reflective white interior fabric to maintain a bright, well-lit environment. Integrated passive ventilation further enhances comfort and air quality. These structures are ideal for enclosing high-traffic areas such as maintenance bays or heavy equipment storage, providing protection without compromising air quality or visibility.
Legacy’s fabric buildings offer clear sustainability benefits:
These features support mining companies’ ESG targets and compliance with green building standards while reducing lifecycle costs.
Modern mining demands structures that can adapt as operations scale or shift. Legacy buildings offer modular flexibility, making it easy to expand for new phases, add ventilation or lighting systems, or repurpose the space altogether. In combination with mining’s increasing use of automation and digital monitoring systems, these agile infrastructure solutions support continuous improvement and long-term resilience.
