Large Event Tent Production
CSX Community Relations Event
CHALLENGE
CSX had opened a $175 million intermodal railway terminal in Northwest Ohio. Even though the company had invested in cutting-edge environmental technology, residents were concerned that operation of this new railyard would disturb the tranquility of this rural community.
SOLUTION
An open house event that would allow the public to see the intermodal terminal in operation allaying fears about noise and pollution.
As there were no suitable indoor facilities at the railyard, a large ClearSpan tent was erected to accommodate the estimated 2,000 persons expected to attend. Commercial-grade air-conditioning units, executive restrooms, flooring, scenic elements, and catering ensured a comfortable interior environment where company representatives could engage with residents, local officials, and the press. Outdoor bleacher systems provided an effective demonstration area where operation of the terminal’s massive electric cranes could be viewed.
RESULT
All noise and pollution concerns were proven to be unfounded, with residents, local officials, and the press…all in one afternoon.
