    The Rundown

    The mine in Chile is a vast sprawling copper mine, and we are installing a building to store copper concentrate in port before it is moved to ships. The scale of this building is impressive, and the conveyor system supported by our roof frame is the heaviest we have ever worked with. The corrosion issue is that copper concentrate reacts chemically with galvanizing, so that was not even an option. Our Epoxxishield perfectly met their specs and requirements.

    Legacy met our challenges.

    Merging old materials with new materials—and then using unconventional construction—were among the challenges.

    Owner Vulpes Rec Center

    It was a good experience working with Legacy.

    Our transportation system requires the diesel buses to be stored in a facility to keep them warm and protected from the elements. Legacy's customized fabric structure design was able to fit our purposes. Their in-house installation crew put up the building very quickly. They're easy to work with and willing to help, and the communication with the city and responsiveness throughout the project was very good.

    It's kind of like being outside all the time but still having shade.

    I love the amount of sunlight that you still get through the roof. It stays pretty warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. It͛s very quiet inside. When you get rain or hail or wind, there's no banging or clanging, no sharp or rough sounds. The acoustics are good. It's fresh and dry and clean. You don't ever have condensation dripping off the roof. It's a controlled environment, yet you still get the benefit of the daylight coming in.
