Check out this HUGE Flat Grain Storage Building at Port Milwaukee

Legacy designed a 120 ft x 580 ft (69,600 sq ft) flat grain storage building to handle various agricultural commodities, specifically to house DDGS, which are nutrient-rich animal supplements derived as a byproduct of ethanol production. The tension fabric building was engineered to support a 1,000-lb/ft conveyor and catwalk, and the interior features precast concrete walls. The facility can load 6,000 metric tons daily with an annual export capacity of 160,000-300,000 metric tons. And because grain is highly combustible, Legacy’s ExxoTec™ Elite fabric is not only flame retardant, but the building frames were also engineered to support a fire suppression system.
