The Ask
Weatherford needed an immediate solution for housing a new manufacturing facility at its Siberian gas field operations. After considering a number of options, the company decided that a Sprung structure would be the ideal fit. This decision was due in large part to Sprung’s speed of construction and proven track record in remote locations. Weatherford also appreciated the Sprung structure’s clear-span, column-free design, which could easily accommodate a large gantry crane.
How Sprung Delivered
Weatherford’s 100’ x 470’ Sprung structure includes a nine-inch layer of formaldehyde-free fiberglass blanket insulation, a full-height interior partition and three 16’ x 16’ rolling service doors.
Sprung also supplied a low-temperature arctic outer membrane, which is designed for extreme cold weather applications. The building’s large and unobstructed capacity easily accommodates Weatherford’s vast manufacturing facility, which includes a full-scale machine shop, lathes, crane, storage racking and a calibration room.
