Sturdy structures can withstand extreme climates

Collinson is showcasing its BestHall wide span buildings on Stand 292 in the UK pavilion. The company’s structures are used worldwide as aircraft hangars, vehicle stores, covered dry dock facilities, warehouses and sports/ training halls.

Comprising a steel frame and a heavy-duty PVC-coated polyester covering, the buildings can be constructed from 12m up to 100m clear span and any length. Natural daylight through the translucent fabric provides a pleasant working environment, while reducing energy required for lighting. The BestHall buildings are sturdy structures, anchored to the ground, and built to withstand extremes of climate, from -30ºC to +70ºC.

Although often constructed as affordable permanent facilities, the structures can be erected quickly on minimum foundations in days and relocated as necessary, thus helping to cut project costs. The PVC-coated polyester cover is resistant to chemicals and therefore ideal when de-icing or decontaminating aircraft and vehicles. The buildings are fire retardant and fully compliant with fire regulations.
