Our flagship Tension Fabric Buildings (TFB) can achieve column-free clear spans up to 80 m. Length is unlimited through modular 3.6 m or 4 m bay extensions.
Champion buildings are engineered to the same structural codes as permanent steel buildings. However, their bolt-together design makes them semi-permanent or relocatable if installed on modular foundations like ballast blocks or screw piles.
Yes. Our rigid steel truss frames can be specifically engineered to carry hanging loads such as lighting, HVAC, sprinklers, and light bridge cranes. Please specify these requirements during the design phase.
White is the most common for natural translucency (~12% light transmission). We also offer grey, green, blue, and sand colors, or two-tone options (e.g., white roof with colored sidewalls).
Every building is site-specifically engineered. We routinely design for wind speeds up to 180 km/h, and even higher for cyclonic or hurricane-prone regions on request.
The curved profile of our roofs helps shed snow naturally. For alpine regions, we increase the truss depth and purlin density to meet local ground snow load requirements, often exceeding 2.5 kPa.
Yes. We can provide calculations and drawings stamped by a professional engineer (PE) to comply with ASCE, NBCC, Eurocode, or AS/NZS standards for your local permit application.
Fabric buildings have a high strength-to-weight ratio and are naturally flexible, making them perform exceptionally well in seismic zones compared to heavy masonry or concrete structures.
The membrane life depends on the grade (610–1450 gsm PVC / PVDF) and UV exposure. Standard PVC grades provide 15 to 20 years of service, while heavy-duty double-sided PVDF grades up to 1450 gsm last 25–30 years before requiring replacement.
Yes. Every steel component is hot-dip galvanized to ISO 1461 standards. This provides a thick zinc coating that protects against corrosion for 25+ years, even in salt-air or fertilizer-storage environments.
Absolutely. Our PVC membranes are flame-retardant and certified to international standards including DIN 4102 B1, NFPA 701, and EN 13501-1.
We offer flexibility: cast-in concrete footings, slab-on-grade, concrete piers, screw piles, or even mounting directly to shipping containers or pre-cast "L" walls.
A standard 1,000 m² building can typically be erected in 10-15 days by a crew of 6-8 people once the foundation is ready.
We offer three options: full Champion installation services, a technical supervisor to lead your local crew, or detailed manuals for self-installation.
Standard engineering and production take 4-8 weeks. Shipping time varies by destination (typically 3-5 weeks for North America or Europe).
Components are packed into 40ft High Cube containers. We use specialized racking and padding to ensure no damage occurs during ocean transit.
Yes. We have delivered structures to over 50 countries, including remote sites in the Maldives, Northern Canada, and Central Africa.
We offer a 25-year structural warranty on the hot-dip galvanized steel frame and a pro-rated 10-15 year warranty on the PVC membrane.
Yes. Because we keep all engineering records, we can manufacture exact replacement panels or bay extensions for your building at any time in the future.
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend an annual check of membrane tension and bolt tightness. The PVC is self-cleaning via rainfall.
Yes. The modular design allows you to add more bays to increase the length of the building at any time. We simply manufacture the additional frame members and a new membrane section.
Yes. Every building includes a basic patch kit. For larger repairs, we provide PVC material and can advise on the use of portable heat-welding tools.
We use heavy-duty expansion bolts or chemical anchors through pre-drilled holes in the structural steel base plates, sized to resist the calculated uplift forces.
