Oil and Gas
Oil and gas buildings engineered for efficiency, safety, and durability in drilling, refining, and extraction
Reliable, Scalable Shelter Solutions for Oil and Gas Operations
In the demanding oil and gas industry, operational efficiency, worker safety, and adaptability are critical. Big Top’s oil and gas buildings deliver durable, cost-effective, and rapidly deployable solutions designed to protect equipment, materials, and personnel in harsh environments.
Engineered for Durability in Extreme Conditions
Oil and gas buildings must endure extreme temperatures, high winds, and heavy snow loads in some of the world’s toughest environments. Big Top’s engineered fabric structures provide:
- All-Weather Protection – Industrial-grade steel frames and rip-resistant, flame-retardant fabric safeguard against wind, rain, UV exposure, and corrosive elements
- UV and Climate Control – Blocks 99.95% of harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation, reducing interior temperatures by up to 15°F cooler in summer and warmer in winter for a safer, more comfortable workspace
- Custom Engineering – Structures can be designed to meet local wind, snow, and seismic load requirements, ensuring compliance with industry regulations
Rapid Deployment and Flexibility Minimizes Operational Downtime
Time is money in oil and gas. Big Top’s oil and gas buildings install quickly—often at rates of up to 2,500 square feet per day—with minimal foundation requirements. They anchor securely to dirt, gravel, concrete, or containers, and their modular design allows for easy expansion, relocation, or reconfiguration as operational needs evolve.
Cost-Saving, Energy-Efficient Solutions
Compared to traditional oil and gas buildings, Big Top’s fabric structures provide a cost-effective alternative, with:
- Lower Construction and Maintenance Costs – Faster installation and fewer materials reduce upfront and long-term expenses
- IRS Equipment Classification – May qualify as equipment, providing potential tax benefits
- Energy Savings – Translucent fabric eliminates the need for artificial lighting during the day, lowering electricity costs
