Energy & Mining Buildings
Experience Working With Mining & Energy Companies
For decades we’ve delivered buildings to remote energy and mining facilities worldwide. We work with international industry leaders like Exxon and Rio Tinto and regional US operations like Mill Creek Dolomite so we know what it takes to get the right building to the right extraction site.
Our shipping and logistics expertise, coupled with the ease of building assembly, facilitates the quick delivery and construction of your durable steel building.
Mineral Extraction Buildings
Bulk Raw Material Storage
Storage facilities for maintaining the quality and accessibility of materials such as coal, ore, oil, gas and minerals.
Mining Equipment Storage
Secure storage to protect against the elements, wildlife or damage of mining equipment.
Container Cover Storage Building
Great for bulk items or equipment storage and can easily be disassembled and reassembled if relocation is needed.
Mining Camp Accommodations
Quick to assemble and durable housing in harsh environmental conditions commonly found in remote mining areas.
Ore and Gas Processing Facility
A beamless and trustless design maximizes interior space for complete control of the layout and optimization of workflow.
Onsite Storage
Adaptable to the size of what you need to store and expandable should your need ever increase.
Model Pricing & Factors
Pricing starts at $12 per square foot but can vary based on several factors.
- Elevation: Many mining areas are at high elevations. To ensure your building is strong enough to bear the snow load of your location, the steel gauge of your building may be raised, which will increase the overall building price.
- Size/Width: The dimensions of your building will impact the thickness and amount of steel used. Buildings wider than 40’ will require a thicker gauge, resulting in a higher cost per square foot.
- Customization: Additional costs may apply for customization options such as parts and accessories.
| SIZE | STARTING PRICE |
| Q20’W x 20’L | $5,950 |
| Q25’W x 40’L | $13,800 |
| S30’W x 50’L | $20,400 |
| S40’W x 60’L | $24,300 |

Why a prefab steel building?
The durability of steel, the versatility of a portable building shell, and the ease of prefab construction make steel Quonset hut kits a natural choice for mining and energy companies.
Durable steel
Made with a minimum thickness of 22 gauge steel and coated with a layer of Galvalume Plus that protects from harsh elements and natural disasters.
No beams, walls or trusses
Self-supporting Quonset structures allow for 100 percent of the building space to be used for extra-large mining equipment or storage.
Expandable
Add additional arches to expand your building’s size whenever needed.
Portable/Temporary
Our prefabricated structures offer flexibility to assemble, disassemble, and relocate when a mineral extraction site is depleted or no longer profitable.
Remote Delivery
Prefab kits can be packaged and delivered to remote locations anywhere a semi-truck can access, or shipped to ports for international delivery.
Mining and Energy Building Success
From mine or well to refinery, from upstream to downstream, SteelMaster’s industrial buildings serve every stage of mineral processing. Our robust structures provide secure, weatherproof storage for valuable extraction equipment and raw materials on site. In refineries and processing facilities, the column-free interior spans create flexible workspaces that adapt to your specialized downstream operations – whether you’re housing processing equipment, setting up maintenance bays, or creating quality control stations.
SteelMaster has provided buildings for every part of the mineral extraction and refining process. For upstream energy mining, our spacious buildings are perfect for storage of equipment and raw materials and for downstream operations, the open design allows for customizing the workspace to suit your needs.
Rio Tinto Mines: Ore processing
Rio Tinto, a multinational corporation, utilizes our XS model and several of our container cover buildings at their Utah location, which are designed to meet the heavy snow loads of the region.
Exxon Mobil: Natural Gas Processing facility
ExxonMobil utilizes a SteelMaster Quonset building for equipment storage at its natural gas processing plant in western Colorado’s Piceance Basin.
Cerro Corona Mine: Gold mining equipment
Opting for durability and adaptability, Minera Gold Fields selected SteelMaster for their mining operation at the Cerro Corona Mine. Situated on the rugged terrain of the Andean highlands at approximately 4,700 meters above sea level, our logistics experts collaborated with the company to ensure the seamless delivery of the building.
Lycopodium Minerals Pty Ltd & Mako Gold: Mining buildings and storage
With mines located all over the world, the company decided to utilize container covers for storage in one of their projects in Senegal.
Mill Creek Dolomite: Marble and stone storage
At the Nevada site, container covers provide versatile and accessible storage, allowing for easy loading and unloading of materials while ensuring protection from the elements.
