Remote mining operations need protected space for both equipment storage and maintenance work. Building separate facilities for machinery, tools and spare parts may not always suit a temporary or changing mine site.
A mining workshop and storage tent can combine these functions in one modular structure.
Separate Storage and Maintenance Zones
The clear-span interior can be divided into different operating areas, including:
- Heavy equipment parking
- Inspection and repair bays
- Spare parts storage
- Tire and tool storage
- Maintenance supplies
- Personnel walkways
- Loading and unloading areas
Keeping the mining spare parts storage area close to the maintenance zone can make tools and replacement components easier to access.
Clear-Span Space for Large Equipment
WT TENT offers aluminum structures with clear spans from 3 to 80 meters.
A clear span mining workshop has no central supporting columns, providing unobstructed space for haul trucks, loaders, excavators and maintenance equipment.
Large entrances can be customized according to the maximum vehicle width and height. The structure may be used as a haul truck maintenance shelter, heavy equipment storage tent or mine site equipment repair shelter.
Heavy racks, lifting systems and workshop machinery must have independent foundations and engineering unless specifically included in the structural design.
Protection for Maintenance Operations
WT TENT structures use UV-resistant, flame-retardant and moisture-resistant covering materials.
They can be engineered to withstand Force 12 winds, heavy rain and heavy snow. Actual performance depends on the dimensions, anchoring system, mine location and project-specific structural calculations.
Optional rigid wall panels, lighting, ventilation, insulation, drainage and industrial doors can be selected for the intended workshop environment.
Portable Mine Maintenance Buildings
A temporary mining maintenance workshop can be dismantled and relocated when the working area changes.
The modular aluminum components may be transported and assembled at another suitable site after inspection. The structure can also be reconfigured for equipment storage or other mining applications.
WT TENT can customize a mining workshop and storage building based on your equipment, workflow and site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Mining Trucks Be Serviced Inside the Tent?
Yes. The span, height, entrances and maintenance areas can be planned around specific mining vehicles.
Can Spare Parts Be Stored in the Same Building?
Yes. Separate storage and workshop zones can be included in the internal layout.
Can an Overhead Crane Be Installed?
A crane requires an independently engineered support system unless it is specifically incorporated into the complete structural design.
Can the Workshop Be Relocated?
Yes. The modular aluminum structure can be dismantled and reassembled at another suitable location following inspection.
