Winter Ready

Looking to be covered for winter?

It is that time of year when we are flooded with customer requests asking if they are too late to purchase a building to be covered prior to winter. To this we reply - "You are NOT too late."

We have worked hard over the last year to increase the production capabilities of our facility and with recent additions of two new welding lines and a brand new state of the art coating line our manufacturing plant capacity has grown 10x.

We welcome the opportunity to serve your needs, and show you what it means to build with more steel and more strength.

Sand and Salt Facilities: Western Canada

Project Info: Pavilion supplied 25 sand and salt storage facilities to highway maintenance companies throughout Western Canada.  These sand and salt storage buildings were required by government mandate to reduce the environmental exposure at each location. Pavilion was able to offer a wide range of fabric building sizes and arrangements to accommodate the needs of each individual site.

Building size: Sand and salt buildings ranged in size from the smallest building 64’ x 80 to the largest building 84’ x 340’.

Why Pavilion: Pavilion was chosen due to Pavilion’s manufacturing capabilities.  Pavilion was able to provide multiple fabric structures in a very short time frame as these projects had to be completed by a certain date to comply with the government mandate.

Xstrata Nickel


Project Info: Located in North Eastern Canada. The Pavilion structure is used for commodity storage of nickel iron ore. The Pavilion fabric structure has been designed to accommodate for a custom end wall entrance for a conveyor system and for oversized doors resulting in the ease of access to the nickel ore.

Building Size: 94’ x 180’ Texan Series

Why Pavilion: Xstrata Nickel wanted to reduce the daily cost of lighting and a Pavilion fabric building was able to provide exactly that.  Pavilion’s Spiderweave™ fabric allows natural light to into the building, therefore reducing the amount of lights required to be on during daylight operational hours.  This results in a huge decrease in electricity usage and cost expenditures to light the structure.

Pavilion was also chosen, as Pavilion was able to design and deliver customer request to heighten the building to increase the overall nickel ore storage in the building.  Pavilion added extra height to the legs to increase the volume of ore storage throughout the entire building.  This resulted in Xstrata being able to store more ore in one central location.  The other competitors did not want to incur the additional engineering that heightening the building required.

Equipment Storage and Repair

Transwest Mining

Building Info: Located at the entrance to the Suncor mine north of Fort McMurray, AB, the Pavilion building is used for repairs to tar sand haulers.  The Pavilion fabric structure is 65’ high allowing the massive tar sand haulers to enter the building and raise their bucket.  This fabric structure is lined and insulated allowing workers to work comfortably in the extreme northern Canadian temperatures 12 months out of the year.

Building Size: 2 – 84’ x 120’ Walton Series (65’ height)

Why Pavilion: Pavilion is the only company in the industry to offer a fabric structure with the unique Walton Series profile.  The Walton Series is designed to give maximum peak height and interior eave clearance in a clear span fabric building design.  This design results in more available interior space in a reduced width.  This design was perfect for Transwest Mining’s needs as they were able to get the height requirements in a smaller width building.  Transwest loved their first building so much that they had to have a second identical building 18 months later.

The SHOPinaBOX™

Building info: The SHOPinaBOX™ series is a new Pavilion fabric structure addition, revolutionizing the portable building sector.  SHOPinaBOX™ is the ultimate solution for a compact, portable, quick to install building.

All SHOPinaBOX™ buildings are designed with ease of installation in mind.  Installing a SHOPinaBOX™ is almost instant and completed with very minimal equipment.  SHOPinaBOX™ can be installed in the most remote region, and be used as the initial basecamp for operations.

All SHOPinaBOX™ buildings are designed to fit unassembled inside a standard 40’ shipping container, this results in ease of shipping and relocating, as well as increased functionality of the other support containers.  Shipping containers can be modified for an office, a tool crib, medical first aid facility, storage, equipment room, generator, school house, lunchroom, training center, hospital, crew quarters, bathrooms, etc.

The SHOPinaBOX™ building when assembled can be used for a mechanic shop, manufacturing shop, control center, basecamp for operations, relief center, distribution center, etc.

Containers and interior building usage is modified to accommodate customer’s requirements.  If you can dream it, we can build it.  All units can contain windows, roll up doors, partitions, access doors, etc.  Building and containers are available in new or used condition and in any colour combination.  We have the capability to build these units to be as rugged as required or as detailed oriented as a main street storefront.

Building Size: 36’ 46’ 64’ 74’ 84’ wide and any length longer in container increments.

Waste Management and Recycling

Direct Disposal Corp

Building Info: Located in Sechelt, BC. The Pavilion fabric building is a split-level building allowing for waste managers to separate refuse.  Refuse is sorted on the top level, and loaded on the bottom level.

Building Size: 84’ x 140’ Texan Series

Why Pavilion: Pavilion was able to provide a fabric building with two different leg height configurations – one half of the building required an 8’ leg and the remaining half of the building a 14’ foot leg.  Pavilion’s ability to customize this fabric building resulted in increased productivity for refuse sorting.
