Openchannelflow Fiberglass Shelters are factory engineered to meet the demanding requirement of the Oil and Mining industries. Well insulated, lightweight, maintenance free, and corrosion resistant, our Oil and Mining Shelters are equally well suited for in-plant and remote protection of your sensitive and valuable equipment!
Inside each shelter panel and roof seams are glassed for complete weather-tight construction – so let Mother Nature do her worst!
Pound for pound stronger than steel, fiberglass construction ensures that each shelter is durable, secure, and ready for a long, useful life out in the field.
Fiberglass is the perfect material for Oil and Mining Shelter applications. It is light weight, high strength, corrosion resistant, and able to shrug off server weather!
At the heart of each Openchannelflow Fiberglass Shelter is our propriety X-Web technology. X-Web provides high strength in each wall and roof section – bonding interior, middle, and exterior laminates together in such a way that the resulting shelter is pound for pound stronger than steel construction.
Fiberglass is naturally resistant to vandalism, dents, abrasions, cracking and peeling. As well as to most forms of corrosion.
Using only high-quality gel coats and resins produces fiberglass shelters that can withstand decades of exposure to atmospheric pollution and harsh weather with minimal color fading. Our sealed construction eliminates the need for the annual maintenance that is so common with stick built and even metal constructed shelters. This helps to drive down total lifecycle costs and makes them an ideal solution for remote installations.
Oil and Mining applications frequently require field piping into / out of the shelter. To make this as seamless as possible, Openchannelflow offers bulkheads, wall cut-outs, and dog houses in a range of sizes and configurations. Wall cut-outs are sealed, factory integrated openings in the wall, bulkheads allow for field penetrations, and dog-houses allow our shelters to be place over existing above grade piping. This range of access allows you to site your penetrations exactly as your field conditions require.
What good is a shelter if it is just a cookie cutter design? Openchannelflow Shelters for the Oil and Mining industries are factory engineered to your specific site needs. From roof hatches to hazardous location equipment our skilled application engineers will work with you to ensure your needs are met. Endless shelter customization is the hallmark of our modular design!
Resource extraction sites can be loud! For these high noise environments, customers can customize their oil and mining shelters by function – letting operators know at a glance the function of a shelter without the need to ever enter it. Openchannelflow Fiberglass Shelters are available in over 210 different exterior colors, helping to provide your operators with a maximum of safety!
