Challenge

As a global leader in vehicle logistics, Wallenius Wilhelmsen exports thousands of vehicles through its Baltimore, Maryland terminal to destinations around the world. During brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) season, Australia requires vehicles shipped from designated regions of the United States to undergo approved treatment before entry. Wallenius Wilhelmsen needed a large, enclosed facility capable of supporting high-volume fumigation and heat treatment operations while keeping export schedules on track. The solution had to accommodate large vehicles, provide reliable year-round protection, and be delivered faster than a conventional building.

Solution

To meet these requirements, Wallenius Wilhelmsen partnered with Big Top to design and install a custom-engineered, clear-span fabric structure tailored specifically for vehicle treatment operations. Engineered and manufactured by Big Top, the structure provides the enclosed environment required for fumigation and heat treatment while offering an expansive, column-free interior for efficient vehicle staging and movement. Designed to withstand the demanding conditions of a busy port, the durable fabric building was installed quickly with minimal disruption to operations. With its Big Top structure in place, Wallenius Wilhelmsen can efficiently meet Australia’s biosecurity requirements, protect vehicles during treatment, and maintain the speed and reliability of its global export operations.
