With corn storage, consistency matters
Protect your corn storage by selecting a dome. Rely on our team to construct an airtight structure that wards off water, insects, and rodents and controls temperature and air conditions inside.
Superior moisture protection: The custom PVC airform covering the dome prevents exposure to moisture. The dome’s insulated nature also prevents heating and cooling of the walls and air inside, thus preventing condensation on the walls and protecting the integrity of the product.
Temperature control: The combination of waterproof membrane, reinforced concrete shell, and continuous layer of polyurethane foam prevents extreme temperature fluctuation.
Aeration system: Domes for grain are constructed with aeration systems used to control temperature and moisture in long-term corn storage.
Food-safe features: Talk to our team about your requirements for cleanliness. From stainless-steel equipment to food-grade paint, we help our customers handle and process agricultural product using the most sterile means possible.
Grain Case Studies

A new project summary is live on our website. At the Port of Tilbury in Essex, United Kingdom building-materials expert Holcim hired Dome Technology to build a DomeSilo, the backbone component in a project that promises economic and environmental benefits for the region. Holcim approached Dome Technology after having decided on a dome as their […]
Construction inevitably affects the environment, but Dome Technology domes offer a more sustainable alternative to conventional buildings. Their double-curved shape uses far less material while enclosing more volume, and interior application of shotcrete and rebar significantly reduces construction waste. A continuous PVC waterproof membrane keeps stored materials contained and prevents environmental contamination. The UV-resistant membrane […]
Think once you’ve chosen a product to store in a dome, you’re locked in for life? Think again. Transitioning from one bulk material to another might not be as complicated as you’d expect, especially if your company anticipates potential shifts from the get-go. Dome Technology clients have made storage changes in the past; it’s a […]
