QUICK SPAN (Arch Building System)
Material arrives on the job site in 3000-5000 pound coils. The machine is set up and adjusted to the correct radius for the building to be erected. The panels are formed through both the straight pane machine and the curving machine at the same time. Curved panel sections are set in place as the next set is being assembled. Each set of arches are seamed to each other by running the seamer over the building. When all the arches are set, straight panels are used to erect the end walls. After end walls are completed, the end cap arch is set in place. Concrete forms are placed, and the concrete is poured around the base of the building to complete the building process. The compact design allows for shipping the fully self contained machine in a 20 foot sea container.
