Limestone—sizing up storage options
Storing limestone 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.
Firm foundations: No matter how heavy your load, Dome Technology can customize a foundation system to support it. Based on geotechnical analysis and an understanding of your product, our team provides innovative foundation options for an overall economical 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 limestone in the same footprint and height due to the fact that product can be stored inside the entire dome structure.
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.

Cement and cement-industry products are completely protected when stored within a dome. Domes boast absolute waterproofing and […]
For storage projects where construction typically demands warmer temperatures, there’s another option: A DomeSilo can be built any time of year, with work marching right through the calendar. The industry norm is for new grain-storage projects to wrap up right before harvest. In contrast, a dome can be finished early in the calendar year, providing […]
