About This Project

This massive, multi-section canopy allows natural light to illuminate a 5-acre track at the IIHS crash test facility in Ruckersville, VA for all-weather outdoor testing. At 115 feet high, 700 feet long and 300 feet wide, this high-tensile fabric roofing structure is one of the largest in North America. Lantz served as construction manager on this challenging and rewarding project with an on-site crew facilitating installation of the structure.

I've never seen anything quite like it... I had to have a building and I had to have it now, you could not do that if you didn't have some trust in each other.

We could not be more pleased with the professionalism and flexibility Lantz has exhibited on our project. Even more impressive has been the quality of work by their employees, who have dealt with extreme weather conditions and remained totally committed to the task at hand.
