Fabric Covered Buildings

Storage for Coordinated Reduction of Waste Management Program

Customer:  King County Department of Transportation - Public Works

Location:    King County, WA

Application:  Road Waste Reclamation Project - Fabric Covered Buildings

The King County Coordinated Reduction of Waste (CROW) program is a comprehensive construction waste recycling facility.  Road waste such as asphalt, cement, glass, brush, and street sweepings are collected and recycled with the goal of re-use. 

This practice diverts debris from landfills and helps to preserve the environment.  The four fabric covered, steel truss buildings that are in use help the CROW Program redirect storm water run-off from debris piles and protects surface and groundwater from pollutants that would otherwise enter the system. 

Milestones Building & Design helped King County develop a creative fabric building application that would let the CROW program function easily and efficiently.  The natural light inside the fabric structures reduces the need for added lighting and provides equipment operators enough light to view the areas they are trying to work in.
