Industrial stockpiles of coal, fertilizers, minerals, and other bulk materials are major sources of dust, runoff, and environmental pollution. Open-air storage is increasingly restricted by stricter environmental regulations worldwide. Pollution-control covered storage sheds, built with advanced spaceframe systems, offer an efficient, cost-effective, and future-ready solution. Metalkarma’s engineering excellence ensures these sheds meet the highest standards of structural integrity and environmental compliance.

Why Covered Storage Matters

✅ Reduces fugitive dust that harms air quality and public health
✅ Prevents runoff contaminating soil and water bodies
✅ Protects stockpiles from rain, wind, and weather degradation
✅ Meets environmental norms to avoid costly penalties
✅ Improves worker safety by creating a cleaner, healthier workspace

By enclosing stockpiles in large-span spaceframe sheds, industries can dramatically improve pollution control while maintaining high operational efficiency.

Advantages of Spaceframes for Covered Storage

✔ Large clear spans – no interior columns to obstruct stacker-reclaimer equipment
✔ Fast construction – thanks to modular, prefabricated designs
✔ Corrosion resistance – critical for chemical and coastal environments
✔ Low maintenance – durable coatings and optimized structural designs
✔ Design flexibility – adaptable to any conveyor or material handling layout

Metalkarma’s spaceframes are engineered to deliver all these benefits, ensuring smooth operations and strict compliance with environmental guidelines.

Design Trends for Pollution-Control Sheds

1️⃣ Negative Pressure Ventilation

Integrating ventilation systems to minimize dust escape and support clean air circulation.

2️⃣ Solar Integration

Covered sheds with solar panel-ready roofs help meet sustainability goals and lower operating costs.

3️⃣ Modular Expansion

Many clients prefer phased expansion, which spaceframes can easily accommodate thanks to their lightweight modular components.

4️⃣ Weatherproof Cladding

High-performance cladding systems protect stockpiles against rainwater infiltration, preventing leaching and runoff pollution.
