Built for Extreme Conditions.
Corrosion-resistant mining structures engineered to withstand harsh environments, support heavy equipment loads, and eliminate the costly maintenance cycles that plague traditional steel buildings in mining operations.
Durable in the Harshest Environments.
Mining operations demand structures that can withstand extreme conditions—corrosive materials, severe weather, heavy equipment loads, and remote locations with limited infrastructure. Traditional steel buildings deteriorate rapidly in mining environments, where continuous exposure to moisture, minerals, and chemicals accelerates corrosion.
Legacy's mining structures eliminate this reliability problem. Our proprietary EpoxxiShield™ coating systems provide superior corrosion protection compared to hot-dip galvanizing, while our non-corrosive ExxoTec™ cladding remains inert to the corrosive materials common in mining operations. Our structures support the full mining lifecycle—from extraction and processing to storage and transportation.
What Type of Mining Structure
Do You Need?
Roof-Only Pavilions
Best for: Covered ore stockpiles, equipment storage, loading areas, seasonal protection, operations requiring airflow
Weather protection with natural ventilation and daylighting. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ cladding eliminates metal roofing vulnerabilities. EpoxxiShield™-coated solid I-beams resist corrosion better than tube trusses while supporting heavy conveyors and cranes without interior columns.
Enclosed & Uninsulated
Best for: Year-round ore storage, conveyor galleries, equipment maintenance, dust containment, crushing/screening enclosures
Full weather protection with natural climate moderation. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ cladding and EpoxxiShield™-coated I-beams outperform metal construction in corrosive environments. White cladding can provide natural daylighting. Passive ventilation manages dust without mechanical systems. Clear-span design supports heavy equipment without interior columns.

Solve Your Biggest Mining
Infrastructure Challenges
Legacy facilities address the operational constraints mining operations face—corrosion cycles that destroy capital investments, extended construction timelines that delay production, operational inefficiencies from inadequate facilities, and infrastructure challenges in remote locations.
-
Corrosion & Structural Reliability
Traditional steel buildings in mining environments have predictable failure patterns. Hollow tube trusses trap moisture, ore dust, and corrosive minerals—corroding from the inside out where damage isn't visible until structural failure occurs.
Legacy's corrosion-resistant technology delivers reliable structural performance through extended building lifespan, minimal maintenance requirements, and eliminate replacement cycles.
-
Remote Location Construction Challenges
Mining sites often operate in remote locations with limited infrastructure—restricted road access, extreme weather windows, limited local labor availability, and long supply chain distances. Traditional construction methods require extensive site work, large crews, and favorable weather conditions spanning months. Weather delays, material shortages, and labor constraints compound costs and delay production startup.
Legacy's vertically integrated process—design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation all in-house—delivers operational facilities faster than traditional construction methods, even in challenging locations.
-
Operational Efficiency & Equipment Integration
Inadequate facility design creates ongoing operational friction that compounds costs. Interior columns obstruct truck traffic and equipment movement. Insufficient clearances limit equipment options or force expensive workarounds. Poor natural lighting requires constant electrical usage in remote locations. Restrictive layouts prevent operational optimization as mining plans evolve.
Clear Span design and engineered flexibility that accommodates mining's operational requirements and adapts as operations evolve.
-
Regulatory Compliance & Environmental Standards
Modern mining operations face increasingly stringent environmental regulations—dust emissions, water management, community relations, and environmental impact mitigation. Inadequate dust containment leads to regulatory violations, community complaints, and operational restrictions. Open stockpiles create environmental liabilities. Traditional buildings with poor ventilation concentrate airborne particulates.
Enclosed structures with engineered ventilation systems that meet environmental requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. Strategically placed soffits and gravity vents manage airborne particulates without mechanical systems—lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, reliable long-term performance.
