Swing Space

Rapidly deployable buildings keep operations moving during transitions and expansion

Swing Space Facilities for Temporary Expansion and Business Continuity

Business growth, facility renovations, equipment upgrades, seasonal demand, relocations, emergency response, and unexpected operational changes often create immediate space requirements. When permanent construction isn’t practical or simply can’t be completed fast enough, businesses need flexible facilities that minimize disruption and keep operations moving.

Big Top’s custom-engineered swing space facilities provide temporary or flexible-use space for operational, administrative, storage, maintenance, and personnel-support needs during periods of construction, renovation, expansion, relocation, emergency response, or changing operational requirements. Our innovative fabric structure system delivers durable, weather-resistant facilities that can be deployed quickly, providing a practical, cost-effective alternative to conventional construction with the flexibility to expand, relocate, or repurpose as needs evolve.

Maintaining Business Continuity

Whether supporting renovations, accommodating business growth, managing a facility relocation, responding to an emergency, or meeting seasonal demand, Big Top engineers swing space buildings that help maintain productivity while creating the additional capacity needed to 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 Design: Eliminates interior columns to maximize usable space for temporary operations, equipment, inventory, workforce support, and changing facility requirements
Weather-Resistant, Code-Compliant Performance: Industrial-strength, rip-resistant fabric combined with galvanized steel framing withstands demanding wind, snow, and environmental conditions
Fire-Resistant Fabric: NFPA-701 flame-retardant material self-extinguishes within three seconds, enhancing workplace safety
UV and Climate Protection: 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, comfortable interior environment
