When you have tons of frac sand to store, you may be wondering what your best options are for long- or short-term storage. Fortunately, there are plenty of possibilities on the market today to help you find the best solution for your budget and storage needs.
An Overview of Frac Sand Storage Building Options
Fracking would not be possible without frac sand. Referred to as ‘proppant’ in the oil and gas industry, frac sand is the material injected into the ground that allows for the fracture of rock layers and release of natural gas or oil. A drilling site will always require large quantities of frac sand, making the storage and protection of unused frac sand a top priority.
When your company works with frac sand, you need to have metric tons on hand to keep operations flowing smoothly at the job site, but that can introduce issues with both long- and short-term storage.
Here are two of the best storage facilities Edge Innovations offers for your frac and bulk sand handling needs.
Truss Us: It Works!
The truss arch fabric building system offered by Edge Innovations is a bulk storage solution used in a wide variety of industries and it is among the most diverse fabric building structures available. Each truss arch is built with three essential components: the structural frame, the fabric, and the foundation. The design is simple to allow for quick construction and to eliminate the use of extra materials, which saves you money. Our truss arch fabric structures are also:
