The MegaDome® phoenix rises on the remains of a collapsed building for Terrane Metals Corp.’s Mount Milligan Copper/Gold Project Ore Load-out Facility. Mount Milligan is owned by Thompson Creek Metals Company. BuildWorks has successfully completed the re-onstruction of a 836 m2 ore load-out facility. BuildWorks is the authorized BC dealer and builder for fifteen years of MegaDome® pre-engineered fabric covered structures – manufactured in Saint-Thomas-de-Joliette, Quebec, by Harnois Industries Ltd.
The replacement MegaDome® structure is a completely re-engineered building, now furnished with extra heavy-duty galvanized-steel clearspan truss frames, and covered with durable FR (fire-resistant) Powershield® translucent tensioned fabric. The existing foundation was reconstructed to support the combined building, snow, wind and bulk storage loads. The result is a functional and energy-efficient facility that is fully compliant with the new BC Building Code, and carries a Certificate of Design and Manufacturing Conformance (CSA A660-10). The project was completed by BuildWorks in July 2013.

The Rise of the Phoenix
Built in two phases, the original Coverall brand structure was constructed for Lomak Bulk Carriers in 2001, with the final phase in 2006. The manufacturer filed for bankruptcy protection in 2010 after failing to weather building failures throughout North America – most notably the collapse of the Dallas Cowboys training facility in Irving, Texas in May 2009 where twelve people were hurt. The existing load-out building in Mackenzie with its wide-spaced trusses collapsed after a winter snow storm in 2012.
