Dome Technology

After considering all options, Argos leadership determined a DomeSilo was the best option for its Houston, Texas, site.

“The dome gives Argos a great amount of storage in a relatively small footprint and an economical storage price per ton relative to typical silos,” said Argos project manager Steve Andersen, who oversees terminal operations.

Argos, which has since combined with Summit Materials, contracted with Dome Technology partly because the team could oversee so many aspects of the project. The DomeSilo stores up to 50,000 metric tons of cement and is 125 feet (38.1m) in diameter and 137.5 feet (41.9m) tall.
