Bethel Park Reserve Road Salt Storage
11,700 sq ft of Reserve Road Salt Storage
Bethel Park added a permanent fabric structure for road salt storage, designed and installed quickly on a challenging site to meet state regulations.
The Rundown
When state regulations required a permanent facility for road salt storage, the city of Bethel Park installed a fabric structure on a steel frame. Bethel Park worked with Legacy to procure a custom building 45 feet wide and 260 feet long, designed and installed within a tight timeline and on a difficult site.
