Air-supported industrial enclosures

Turn exposed ground into productive space.

High-clearance, column-free structures for construction, mining, maintenance and bulk storage—engineered around the way your operation moves.

When exposure becomes operational risk

Keep the job moving.
Protect what matters.

On active sites, the enclosure is not just a roof. It affects schedule continuity, material condition, equipment access, crew comfort and environmental planning.

01 / Weather

Create a controlled work zone

Move critical activities out of direct rain, snow, wind and sun—with heating, ventilation and workflow planned for the actual use.

02 / Space

Open up the floor

A clear-span interior preserves maneuvering room for equipment, stockpiles, laydown and changing production flows.

03 / Mobility

Follow the operation

Deploy, dismantle, relocate or expand by modules as sites, phases and capacity requirements evolve.

04 / Planning

Engineer the fit—not a catalog box.

Location, wind and snow conditions, anchoring, doors, power, egress and internal systems belong in the conversation from day one.

Infrastructure & civil works

Protect the schedule from the forecast.

Create a high-clearance work area for staging, assembly, concrete-related operations, materials or equipment—without permanent internal columns dictating the flow.

  • Large access planning for vehicles and machinery
  • Modular layouts for changing project phases
  • Weather protection for work, materials and tools

Space without the steel forest

Clear span.
Clear possibilities.

A broad interior lets the operation—not a grid of columns—decide where equipment, material and people move.

The right questions
before the first anchor.

Wind, snow, rain, fire safety, egress and permitting vary by jurisdiction and use. A credible concept begins with real site data—not assumptions.

From need to working space

A disciplined path
to deployment.

Early clarity reduces redesign. Bring the operational constraints into the brief from the start.

  1. 01
    Define

    Share the mission

    Application, location, target footprint, equipment access, site photos and schedule.

  2. 02
    Configure

    Build the site fit

    Structure geometry, anchoring approach, openings and internal systems are aligned to the brief.

  3. 03
    Engineer

    Validate the project

    Project-specific inputs and local approval requirements are incorporated before execution.

  4. 04
    Deploy

    Put space to work

    Installation, commissioning and operating guidance prepare the enclosure for its mission.

Practical answers

Before you
spec the space.

Every industrial enclosure is a system. These are the first questions most teams should resolve.

Ask another question ↗

Deployment time depends on size, site readiness, anchoring, access, equipment and approval requirements. Air-supported systems are designed for installation agility; Pistelli can establish a realistic schedule after reviewing the site brief.

Yes. Portability and modular expansion are core advantages described by Pistelli. The relocation plan should be considered during the initial configuration, especially where anchoring, utilities and access differ between sites.

Those inputs are project-specific. The location, intended use, service period, wind and snow conditions, anchoring, fire safety and local authority requirements should be reviewed as part of engineering and permitting.

No. For dust-generating or occupied processes, ventilation, filtration, heating and exposure controls must be designed around the hazards and applicable rules. The enclosure is one part of the overall control strategy.

Send the city/state or province, intended use, approximate width × length × clear height, largest equipment dimensions, door needs, ground condition, target date, expected service period and any site drawings or photos.
