Support efficient assembly processes for projects of every scale.

Assembly Structures for Efficient Industrial Workspaces

Assembly operations require productive, weather-protected facilities designed to support the assembly, integration, fabrication, and staging of components, equipment, products, and systems before deployment, installation, testing, or shipment. Custom-engineered and manufactured in the USA, Big Top assembly structures provide adaptable workspaces that support efficient workflows, equipment integration, modular construction, and workforce productivity.

Serving construction projects, manufacturing facilities, utilities, and industrial operations, our innovative fabric structure system creates wide-open, weather-protected assembly spaces where crews can organize materials, stage components, integrate complex systems, and keep projects moving efficiently.

Bringing Projects Together

Organized workspaces help crews assemble equipment more efficiently while protecting components, tools, and partially completed systems. Big Top fabric structures create dependable assembly areas that improve assembly efficiency, maintain quality, and keep projects on schedule.

Features of Big Top’s fabric structure system include:

Rapid Installation, Minimal Site Preparation: Engineered for fast deployment with minimal foundation work and multiple anchoring options to accommodate a wide range of site conditions
Clear-Span Interiors: Wide-open workspaces maximize room for workforce mobility, staged components, equipment, cranes, and forklifts
Weather-Resistant, Code-Compliant Performance: Industrial-strength fabric membranes and galvanized steel framing protect assembly operations from rain, wind, snow, and harsh environmental conditions
Fire-Resistant Fabric: NFPA-701 flame-retardant material self-extinguishes within three seconds, enhancing safety in high-risk environments
UV and Temperature Control: Blocks 99.95% of harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation to help maintain interiors up to 15°F cooler in summer and warmer in winter, while optional HVAC and insulation further enhance year-round comfort
Energy-Efficient, Naturally Lit Environment: Translucent fabric maximizes natural daylight to reduce lighting costs while creating a bright, productive interior environment

Keeping Assembly on Schedule

Assembly schedules depend on reliable assembly areas where crews can safely organize materials, position equipment, and complete projects efficiently. Clear-span interiors support smooth movement of personnel, forklifts, cranes, and staged components while reducing weather-related interruptions.

Wide-open interiors allow personnel, forklifts, cranes, and material handling equipment to move efficiently throughout the facility, while modular construction allows facilities to expand or relocate as operational requirements change.
