Experience

Mahaffey Fabric Structures first installed a temporary terminal for arriving athletes at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.  The 100'x400' structure was fully equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, luggage carousels, baggage counters, and security checkpoints.  Arriving athletes received their credentials, had their photos taken, and awaited transportation to their quarters.  After the Games, they repeated the process, enjoying both security and protection from the elements.

In Mobile, Alabama, Mahaffey installed a cruise ship terminal where none previously existed.  Over a two-month period, the portable structure served as the Mobile boarding terminal for Carnival Cruise Lines.  The temporary terminal proved that Mobile, Alabama, was accepted by the public and an economically viable port-of-call.  An interesting detail about this maritime port is that the fabric-covered structure was kept comfortable with the addition of two of Mahaffey's 20' diameter ceiling fans.  These monstrous fans reduced the interior temperature 6 - 8°F.
