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.

Dome Technology’s scope of expertise goes well beyond the dome. Our team provides turnkey storage solutions, which means engineering, fabrication, conveyance installation, foundation solutions, and more. Overseeing an entire project means our fingerprints can be found in every part of every project, including tunnels like this housing an aeration system for an FLS Ful-Floor.
