South Haven, MN ā Legacy Building Solutions, an innovative manufacturer of fabric structures on a rigidĀ steel frame, is constructing a full scale, stand-alone fabric structure completely inside the Las VegasĀ Convention Center for MINExpo.
The 20-foot by 30-foot building will be engineered and constructed by Legacyās design-build team. TheĀ steel frames and PVC fabric panels will be manufactured at headquarters in South Haven, Minn., andĀ then transported to Las Vegas. Once onsite, crews will install the building on the show floor. TheĀ complete assembly process will take three days.
Special features of the building include varying column heights, an offset peak and fabric skylight.Ā Overhangs measuring 18 inches and 48 inches will extend on either side of the building. MINExpoĀ attendees will enjoy easy access to the building through three walls, and one wall will be completelyĀ covered with fabric cladding. The structure will serve as the show booth for the duration of the event,Ā and inside, attendees will have the chance to learn more about Legacy buildings for mining applications.
āItās rare that any building is constructed to stand for less than a week and has no impact from snow orĀ wind load,ā said Ben Fox, President & CEO of Legacy Building Solutions. āBut thatās Legacyās specialty āĀ one-of-a-kind buildings. This one just happens to be located indoors.ā
Fox added that the uses for fabric buildings on a mining jobsite include storage, equipment maintenanceĀ and truck shops. MINExpo attendees will have the opportunity to walk in the building, located on theĀ show floor at booth 25039, to inspect the building and evaluate it for possible use on their jobsite.
MINExpo is September 26-28 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Held every fourĀ years, it is the largest international gathering of its kind. Legacyās team will construct the building a fewĀ days before the show and dismantle it immediately after.
