Mining & Mineral Solutions

Rapidly deployed, relocatable structures engineered for the harshest remote mining environments. Protect assets from ore dust to extreme weather conditions.

The Challenge

Durable Infrastructure for Remote Sites

Mining operations require large-scale storage and workshops in areas where traditional construction is too slow, expensive, or permanent. Corrosion from mineral dust and extreme wind/snow loads are constant threats to equipment and stockpiles.

Champion treats these challenges with high-performance materials and relocatable engineering, ensuring your infrastructure can move with the project.

🚚

100% Relocatable

Move your entire structure as the mine face or project phase advances, saving on capital expenditure.

⚙

Corrosion Resistant

Hot-dip galvanized steel frames (ISO 1461) withstand abrasive and saline environments for decades.

FAQ

Mining Solutions FAQ

Yes. We design custom ridge vents and high-volume mechanical ventilation systems to ensure safe air quality for workshops. Our structures can also integrate with existing HVAC and dust extraction systems.

Depending on size, a TFB can be dismantled and re-packed for transport in 5-10 days, allowing it to follow the mine progress. This portability significantly reduces the total cost of ownership over multiple project phases.

Our high-quality PVC membranes are coated with PVDF lacquering, making them smooth and resistant to dust buildup and easy to clean. Premium grades up to 1450 gsm PVDF typically have a service life of 20-30 years in heavy industrial use.

Champion structures can be installed on a variety of foundations, including concrete pads, pre-cast blocks, or even directly on level gravel with earth anchors, making them ideal for remote exploration sites where concrete is difficult to source.

Challenges

Key Challenges in Mining

01

Corrosive Dust

Mineral dust and abrasive particles accelerate the degradation of standard steel and wood structures, leading to high maintenance costs.

02

Remote Logistics

Remote mine sites make conventional construction slow and expensive due to specialized labor and heavy material transport requirements.

03

Extreme Climates

Mining operations often face high wind speeds and heavy snow loads that demand site-specific structural engineering to ensure safety.
