Building Construction for Bulk Materials
From salt and sand bulk storage to fertiliser, aggregates and custom requirements, Collinson Tensile offers tailored construction for bulk storage solutions that meet the demands of any industry. Our tensile fabric buildings are engineered with BestHall’s advanced steel superstructure frames, offering clear spans of up to 100 metres, unlimited lengths, and heights of up to 30 metres. This unobstructed design maximises storage capacity and operational efficiency, ensuring your bulk materials remain easily accessible and well-protected.
For materials prone to corrosion or requiring specific environmental controls, we provide Inner Liner systems to safeguard the steel frame and deploy additional ventilation or humidity control systems to preserve the quality of your stored materials.
Unrivalled industrial
pedigree
We’ve innovated over many decades to become a UK-wide contractor of choice for bulk storage industrial buildings, with over 20 years of experience constructing bulk storage solutions.
Speed and ease of
construction
Our expertise in tensile buildings, and our offsite construction capabilities, mean we can create high-quality industrial spaces that are quick to build, easy to maintain, and allow you to maximise the space you have available.
Backed by world-leading
technology
As the sole UK distributor for Best-Hall tensile buildings, we use tried and trusted technology to create safe, reliable, and cost-effective industrial spaces.
Designed for Durability and Efficiency
Our tensile structures are built to perform in even the harshest conditions. With the option to integrate push walls into the design—either mounted on concrete retaining walls or via internal A or L wall systems—our buildings are as robust as they are versatile.
Natural daylight illumination, enabled by our advanced membrane design, reduces the need for artificial lighting, helping lower energy costs and ongoing maintenance. This sustainable feature, combined with the speed of installation, ensures our buildings not only protect your materials but also support your organisation’s goals for efficiency and cost savings.
Why Choose Collinson Tensile?
Sustainability Focused: Designed with fabric membranes that maximise natural light and reduce the need for artificial lighting, our buildings lower energy costs and minimise environmental impact.
Versatility Across Applications: Whether for industrial storage, or custom bulk solutions, our tensile structures adapt seamlessly to meet diverse requirements.
Innovative Design Flexibility: Choose from fully enclosed buildings for maximum protection or open canopies for operations requiring accessibility, ensuring every project is tailored to your needs.
Optimised Space: Clear-span structures of up to 100 meters allow for uninterrupted movement of materials and machinery, making operations more efficient.
Low Maintenance: Our high-performance membranes and robust steel frames require minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs and downtime.
Durability Built-In: Our tensile structures are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, snow loads, and corrosive environments, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Testimonial
The project ran like clockwork, nothing was any trouble for the team
The double-skinned tensile facility provides the perfect solution for the harsh environments associated with maritime storage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Collinson and look forward to working with them again in the future.
