Copper—sizing up storage options
Storing copper is a weighty matter, and designing the proper storage system is critical to the overall success and economy of a project. A dome is the perfect storage system.
More storage, smaller footprint: With domes, customers can store more product in a smaller footprint, stacking it deeper and taking up less valuable property at the site than compared to a flat storage. And compared to a concrete silo, the dome allows you to store more copper in the same footprint and height due to the fact that product can be stored inside the entire dome structure.
Firm foundations: Based on geotechnical analysis and an understanding of your product, our team provides innovative foundation options for an overall economical system.
Access options: Dome Technology continues to innovate the application of cost-effective, competitive reclaim systems. By partnering with reclaim manufacturers, our team has the resources and technology know-how to build the dome and get the product in and out.
Reclaim options: Our domes can be designed and equipped for reclaim options like front-end loader, gravity, stacker reclaimer, screw reclaimer, and more. The number and type of tunnels are designed and built to suit your project.
For companies eager to work hand-in-hand with a partner who knows the industry, knows the vendors, and knows a good price, look no further than Dome Technology.
Construction always impacts the environment, but a dome from Dome Technology is more environmentally responsible than conventional structures and building methods in these ways: 1. Use of less material during construction. The dome’s efficient double-curvature structure conserves construction materials by using less material to enclose more storage volume than any other comparative structure. 2. Less […]
A dome provides optimal storage for mined products, and our latest Mining Overview highlights these benefits. Some of the greatest advantages are an apex that can easily support large loads from the headhouse and conveyors and an overall system efficiently designed for filling, storage, and reclaim systems.

Grain producers know that mold, mildew, and time are major concerns when storing large amounts of product during warm seasons. According to DTN/The Progressive Farmer, since grain stored improperly can experience quality issues as the weather warms up, farmers are encouraged to stay on top of management efforts like grain monitoring, coring bins, and equalizing […]
