Success Story
City of Greenville, North Carolina Road Salt Storage
41' Wide x 60' Long Fabric Structure
The GC Fabric Building Division built a road salt storage building for the City of Greenville in North Carolina utilizing a fabric structure. The City of Greenville was looking for a larger fabric covered salt storage building, as their previous facility could only hold about 175 tons. With the completion of their new 41' x 60' building, they can now store up to 780 tons of road salt—over four times their previous capacity.

Our old shelter we had for storing salt held about 150-175 tons, and when we had 3 or 4 weekends in a row last January, we ran out of salt. With the help of the new facility, running out of salt in no longer a concern.
