Engineered for Containment.
Corrosion-resistant waste, recycling, and water treatment facilities designed to withstand chemical exposure and moisture.
Avoid Sudden Replacement.
Water treatment and waste processing facilities face accelerated corrosion from chemical contact and constant moisture—forcing operators into repeated replacement cycles that consume capital budgets and disrupt operations.
Legacy's corrosion-resistant engineering delivers long-lasting performance. Our EpoxxiShield™ coating systems provide corrosion protection superior to hot-dip galvanizing, while our ExxoTec™ PVC cladding is naturally inert to corrosion—it cannot rust or corrode in any environment.
What Type of Waste or
Water Treatment Facility Do You Need?
Roof-Only Pavilions
Best for: Material processing, recycling operations, composting facilities, equipment storage, operations requiring maximum ventilation
Corrosion-resistant protection with natural airflow management. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ PVC cladding eliminates metal roofing corrosion vulnerabilities. EpoxxiShield™-coated solid I-beams resist chemical corrosion better than hollow tube trusses while supporting heavy conveyors and cranes.
Enclosed & Uninsulated
Best for: Water treatment operations, waste processing with ventilation control, chemical storage, facilities requiring controlled ventilation
Complete containment with engineered ventilation control. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ cladding and EpoxxiShield™-coated I-beams outperform metal construction in chemical environments. Passive ventilation with strategically positioned soffits and gravity vents manages moisture and maintains air circulation.

Solve Your Biggest Waste &
Water Treatment Challenges
Waste, recycling, and water treatment operations face unique infrastructure threats—chemical exposure that corrodes conventional buildings, ventilation requirements that traditional structures struggle to address, and replacement cycles that consume budgets without solving underlying corrosion problems.
-
Corrosion from Chemical Exposure
Traditional building materials corrode rapidly from chemical contact and constant moisture exposure. Steel components rust through faster than expected—what should last decades fails in years in treatment facilities. Ventilation equipment corrodes from continuous chemical exposure, requiring expensive premature replacement.
Legacy's corrosion-resistant technology delivers lower total infrastructure cost. Our EpoxxiShield™ frame finishes provide corrosion protection superior to hot-dip galvanizing. ExxoTec™ PVC cladding is naturally inert to corrosion—it cannot rust, corrode, or deteriorate from chemical exposure. Our solid I-beam construction resists corrosion better than hollow tube trusses, which trap moisture internally and can corrode from inside.
-
Ventilation System Performance
Effective ventilation is critical but difficult to achieve in corrosive environments. Traditional buildings require extensive mechanical systems to achieve basic air quality—expensive to install, expensive to operate, expensive to maintain.
Legacy's passive ventilation reduces mechanical complexity. Our engineered soffit and gravity vent system provides continuous air movement using thermal convection and natural airflow patterns—no mechanical equipment to corrode or fail. When mechanical ventilation is required, our Clear Span design optimizes equipment placement and ductwork routing.
-
Equipment Integration & Clear Span Operations
Treatment operations require unobstructed space for process equipment, material handling, and maintenance access. Interior columns interfere with optimal equipment layout. Overhead equipment conflicts with structural members. Maintenance access limitations extend downtime.
Legacy's Clear Span engineering up to 300 feet wide eliminates operational constraints. Our equipment layout can optimize process flow without structural limitations. Our solid I-beam structure supports heavy hanging loads—bridge cranes, overhead conveyors, specialty equipment mounting—without interior columns obstructing operations. Maintenance access from any direction without structural interference.
