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.
Transitioning from one stored product to the next within a single storage structure might not be as complicated as you’d expect. Dome Technology clients often plan their dome projects with this in mind; it’s a smart way to maximize on existing infrastructure and to ensure multiple options are available no matter what the market does.

It’s almost time …. In early August, we will announce the location of our 2025 leadership conference. Stay tuned! Dome Technology Leadership Announcement
We talk a lot about our industrial projects, but we build sophisticated commercial spaces too. Take a look at our Commercial Projects page to see the custom gyms, auditoriums, storm shelters, churches, and more that we’ve built over the last few decades. See the collage below for just a sampling of the work we’ve done.
