Milestones Building and Design Presents The Crossover - The Original Tension Fabric Building With a Rigid Steel, Built-Up Beam, Structural Frame

    BELLINGHAM, WA, February 21, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Milestones Building and Design presents the Crossover, the original fabric building using rigid steel, built-up beam, structural frames instead of open web, hollow tube trusses. A remarkable engineering concept, the newest technology in fabric buildings. A fabric structure design that ensures the strongest fabric buildings available. The Crossover utilizes the proven framework of a "steel" building, and all the benefits of a "fabric covered" building. High wind and snow loads are no longer problems. This is a proven structural steel system already established with engineering departments and local jurisdictions, which translates into stronger buildings and easier permitting.

The Crossover tension fabric building, http://www.milestonesbd.com, is innovation you can trust, setting the industry standard for rigid steel, built-up beam structures.

The strength of the Crossover steel frame provides several engineering advantages. One being the variable dimensions: Width, height, length, leg heights, inside center height and roof slope. All these dimensions are determined by the customer and application requirements. Another great feature, not possible in fabric buildings before now, is the ability to install eaves, dormers, gutters, standard windows, standard doors, wide side doors, insulation, and liners. And, we can engineer the building for additional loads, i.e., conveyors, sprinklers, lighting, heaters and air conditioning and fans.

The Crossover, is the original and the preferred fabric building of those with rigid steel built-up beam, structural frames in place of hollow-tube, open web trusses, traditionally used for fabric buildings. Solid steel, structural steel beams do not lend themselves to corrosion that commonly originates inside the open web hollow tubing. Hot dip galvanized steel makes the Crossover's frame virtually corrosion resistant. Plus, the rigid steel is hot-dip galvanized in a lead-free facility; no lead is added to the zinc in the galvanization process.

The Crossover is an exceptional choice in tension fabric structures; a multi purpose, fast, durable, economical solution for manufacturing, warehousing, and mining facilities including the bulk storage business and the commodity storage industries. Industrial and commercial businesses alike recognize the advantages provided by fabric structures, including the low cost, quick turnaround, green construction and sustainable design.

Crossover fabric buildings are made in the USA, manufactured with superior quality, come with world-class customer service and an unmatched 20 year warranty. Purchase direct from the manufacture through Milestones Building and Design, Phone: 360-366-3077 Website: http://www.milestonesbd.com.

From 30' to 300' and wider x any length, these fabric structures are spacious, the total inside space is useable. There are no internal columns or supports to interfere with interior plans. Use the maximum amount of space possible for any application. The dimensions of width, height, length, leg heights, inside center height, and roof slope are chosen by the customer and application requirements.

Utilized in industrial, commercial, agricultural, government, military, municipal, and public works operations, these fabric buildings are highly versatile.

The Crossover is ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial solutions: bulk storage, port buildings, commodity storage, aircraft manufacturing, distribution centers, logistics and transport buildings, automotive manufacturing, fuel and lubrication facilities, equipment washing areas, aggregates storage, railcar repair facilities, maintenance shops, aircraft; plane, helicopter hangars; car, truck, and equipment storage; marine and boat storage; compost storage, recycling operations, waste management; industrial structures, manufacturing expansion, warehouse storage; public works buildings; salt and sand storage, water treatment plants; special events, convention centers, concert halls, and entertainment stages; indoor sports and recreational facilities; mining buildings and oil drilling shelters; military shelters and aircraft hangars.

It is equally suitable for a wide range of agricultural building solutions: Truck, and farm equipment storage; compost and fertilizer processing and storage, manure digesting; cattle barns, beef barns, feedlot covers, dairy buildings, free stall barns, cattle confinement, and dry bed pack barns; animal shelters, goat buildings, alpaca shelters, and calf buildings; grain buildings, hay storage, wheat storage, and feed storage; commercial warehouse storage.  

Variable height sidewalls allow for the height needed to provide extraordinary clearance for ease of movement, loading and handling, and entry/exit access. Experience speedy deployment as heavy equipment can drive inside and easily maneuver within the Crossover fabric buildings.

Structural steel frames come in red oxide prime steel, powder coat, or hot dip galvanized. Our hot dip galvanizing process is done in a lead-free facility; no lead is added to the zinc in the galvanization process. In highly corrosive environments, the Crossover's structural rigid steel built-up beams are protected with 300% more zinc than competitor's buildings, which lengthens the life of structural steel.

Energy efficient white fabric covers provide an inviting interior environment which increases productivity. They reduce the need for artificial lighting, lowering energy consumption. In addition, the translucent and reflective qualities of the cover provide indoor temperature stability; buildings stay cooler in the summer and warm in the winter. These benefits provide huge energy savings. The Crossover's fabric cover is 13 oz/yd2 polyethylene fabric is the best material available in the marketplace. Other building manufacturers will use 10 or 12 oz/yd2 fabrics. The heavier weight material is superior, providing strength and longevity.

Natural ventilation and abundant light provide a fresh, clean feel and smell. Natural light cuts down on moisture and bacteria growth, providing a healthier environment. Superior ventilation options are available. Unobstructed views with no shadows allow excellent visibility while working inside the structure.

Fast delivery and fast installation. When you need a building fast, the Crossover can be manufactured it in just a few weeks. It can be installed in less than half the time it takes to construct a traditional wood or steel building. The design of the Crossover provides prompt unloading from the delivery as well as efficient installation, which saves money.

Crossover fabric buildings are fully code compliant to the current IBC Building Code, including compliance to wind and snow loads specific to your fabric building's location, providing superior structural integrity. Engineered stamped drawings accompany all buildings requiring a permit.
