Aggregate storage shelter

TOUGH AND COST-EFFECTIVE AGGREGATE SHELTERS

If you handle large quantities of aggregate in mining, construction, or farming, a bulk storage shelter can help keep your resources in optimal condition.

SmartShelters structures feature a heavy-duty galvanised steel framework and tough ripstop roof covers that comply with AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 requirements. That’s how they stay tough enough to keep your materials dry in any weather.

The relocatable design minimises construction time and makes it easier to expand or move as your storage needs change. We can build structures up to 45m wide without interior poles, fully accessible to loaders and trucks.

With various mounting options and optional add-ons for walls, vents, gutters, and signwriting, this is bulk storage made for New Zealand’s industrial sector.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How should aggregate be stored?

Moisture is the biggest challenge when storing aggregate materials like fertiliser, concrete, or sand. You need a well-ventilated space with a regular source of cool, dry air, ideally lit by natural light to help with evaporation. The space should be covered to protect the material from rain and wind — but it must also be accessible to vehicles used to deposit the material. You also need to separate different types of materials to avoid cross-contamination.

A SmartShelters aggregate storage shelter fulfils all of these conditions. The SmartShield® fabric lets in up to 90% of available natural light, allows for ample ventilation, and provides durable protection from the elements. Meanwhile, the clear-span design means there are no interior poles to obstruct heavy vehicles like trucks.

SmartShelters can easily be designated for separate aggregate storage bays by using a Container Mounted or Concrete Mounted Shelter side by side. And because the installation process is so quick, compared to conventional storage facilities, you have more flexibility to move your structure as your storage needs change.

What is the storage capacity of your bulk storage buildings?

We can build custom-sized covered bulk storage structures to meet your capacity requirements — up to 45m wide, any length, and various heights depending on which mounting method you prefer.

Contact us about your bulk storage needs, and we can help you determine the most suitable shelter size.

How much does a bulk storage building cost?

The cost of your bulk storage warehouse depends on:

  • Width, length, height
  • Environmental factors (e.g. snow loading and wind ratings)
  • Ground conditions
  • Site location
  • Optional add-ons (e.g., walls, guttering, signage)

Our fabric structures are often more budget-friendly than conventional steel storage facilities, while providing greater ventilation and quicker installation.

Can I hire a bulk storage building?

Yes, we offer Container Mounted Shelters for lease with a minimum period of 12 months. This is suitable for construction companies that require extra storage for projects or businesses considering scaling their existing storage facilities. Contact one of our friendly consultants to discuss your needs.
