Project : Ottowa Barge Terminal

THE BACKGROUND:

After a devastating derecho tore through a fertilizer storage structure in Illinois in August 2020, the client sought a dependable solution for rebuilding this project. Naturally, the manufacturers at Calhoun Super Structure, turned to our fabric NovaShield to fulfil this crucial endeavour.

THE SOLUTION:

Given tough environmental conditions, durability was top of mind for the customer. NovaShield’s high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric is manufactured to withstand UV rays and corrosion. Hot-tipped galvanized steel was used by Calhoun to protect against pitting and rusting. This was a cost-efficient yet sustainable solution that included free span space, clearance for trucks, proper ventilation, and adequate, engineered storm protection.

THE NOVASHIELD ADVANTAGE:

  1. NovaShield’s high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric is manufactured to withstand UV rays and corrosion.
  2. Being lighter in weight and easier to work with than most competing brands, NovaShield’s advantage lies in its quick installation process and industry leading warranties.
  3. The inherent translucency of NovaShield creates a well-lit atmosphere, reducing or eliminating the reliance on artificial lighting and contributing to energy and cost savings.
