Oil, Gas, & Energy

The sooner your building is up and running, the sooner it goes from a cost to a benefit. Legacy’s seamless in-house manufacturing and project coordination process minimizes the timeframe from design to delivery, and our Legacytrained installation team’s experience provides confidence that your building will be installed safely, efficiently, and correctly.

Versatility

Legacy fabric structures are a cost-effective choice for a wide range of building needs. They can be:

• Open-air pavilion style or fully enclosed with or without insulation
• Designed from the ground up or as a retrofit to cover existing infrastructure
• Expanded in the future to accommodate growth or changing needs

Besides sheltering key processing equipment and processes, our buildings can serve multiple additional activities:

• Vehicle and equipment storage
• Maintenance shops
• Warehouses
• Mechanical facilities 
• Treatment applications
• Climate-controlled indoor applications

Standardized building templates may seem efficient, but they virtually guarantee your building won’t meet all the needs of the intended use. Legacy customers always receive tailored solutions that fit the needs of the application. You can have the features you need plus  the extras you want to create a safe, comfortable working environment:

• Clear spans of 300 feet or more in width with no interior obstructions 
•  Access points and any style doors for vehicles and personnel
• Straight walls allow easy access to every corner in bulk storage areas and efficiently accommodate warehouse racking
• Optional features such as mezzanines, catwalks, eaves, and gutters
• Passive ventilation keeps air fresh and reduces indoor condensation, mitigating corrosion, and minimizing maintenance
• Seamless envelope delivers an air and watertight seal and eliminates intrusion of moisture or other pollutants or contaminants
• Airtight interior can create negative interior pressure if needed, to keep odors or hazardous waste from escaping into the environment

Legacy buildings are engineered to the same standards as traditional metal buildings, but with additional features that increase operational performance and efficiency.

Our solid steel I-beam construction is reliably strong and durable, proven to withstand harsh environmental conditions and weather extremes. The framework reliably supports heavy hanging loads such as cranes, conveyors, and specialized air handling equipment.

Our EpoxxiShield^TM suite of epoxy coatings ensures corrosion resistance that is far superior to hot-dip galvanizing in any environment, significantly reducing the need for maintenance and repairs.

Fabric is Naturally Better

Our proprietary ExxoTec^TM fabric is exceptionally rugged, yet its flexibility makes it less vulnerable to impacts and abrasion. It is inherently fire-retardant and inert to corrosion. Our unique attachment system creates a seamless envelope impervious to moisture and other contaminants.

Fabric also creates a brighter, more pleasant, and energy-efficient working environment:

• Natural light–white fabric’s 12% translucence admits daylight through the walls and roof
• Thermally non-conductive–even in uninsulated buildings, indoor temperatures remain cooler in summer and warmer in winter
• Better acoustics–fabric doesn’t rattle or reverberate when it’s windy or rainy, and it helps absorb indoor noise

Our fabric buildings are engineered to last decades with little maintenance. The fabric exterior’s smooth surface rinses clean in the rain or snow, or with recommended cleaning methods recommended by our staff. 

ROI

Legacy customers save money upfront with a high-quality structure delivered faster. Over time, the functional benefits of fabric and our construction techniques, minimal ongoing maintenance, and long building lifecycle add up to lower operating costs and exceptional ROI. You save time and money–a bottom-line benefit you can take to the bank.
