Temporary Structures for Refineries and Petrochemical Sites

Total Tent Solutions provides engineered clear span temporary structures that create controlled temporary space for refineries, petrochemical plants, and industrial job sites across the United States. We support turnarounds, shutdowns, maintenance outages, and capital projects with layouts planned for active-facility coordination, access control, and workforce flow.

Where Temporary Structures Fit on Refinery and Petrochemical Projects

Temporary structures are commonly used to add functional, controlled space for:

  • Contractor staging and coordination
  • Safety meetings, orientations, and training
  • Workforce support space for breaks, meals, and on-site admin
  • Equipment and material storage
  • Temporary operational overflow and protected work areas

Clear Span Structures Built for Industrial Use

Clear span layouts provide open interior space for efficient movement of people, carts, and equipment. Modular configurations allow expansion or reconfiguration as project phases change.

Common refinery and petrochemical configurations include:

  • HVAC and climate control 
  • Flooring systems for improved footing and cleanliness
  • Lighting and temporary electrical distribution
  • Personnel doors, large access points, and controlled entry layouts
  • Interior partitioning for multi-use zones such as storage, meetings, and admin

Turnaround and Shutdown Support for Refineries

Refinery work is logistics-heavy and schedule-constrained. Temporary space needs to align with crew counts, shift changes, laydown areas, access routes, and site safety requirements. Total Tent Solutions plans each deployment around site layout, schedule windows, and operational constraints to support high-activity periods while maintaining coordination with active-unit work.

Safety, Compliance, and Plant-Ready Execution

Refinery and petrochemical environments require disciplined execution and coordination with site safety teams. Total Tent Solutions crews hold refinery-access credentials commonly required on these sites, including TWIC, and complete Houston Area Safety Council training where required by facility standards.
Each structure is engineered for site conditions and jurisdictional requirements, including wind load. Installation is executed with site coordination in mind to support safe access, controlled entry, and operational fit.

Where blast siting is required by the facility, it is addressed during planning and documented to site requirements. Third-party blast assessment documentation is available for certain configurations to support siting aligned to API RP 756.
