An increasing number of cement producers are contracting with Dome Technology to build DomeSilos with ultimate product protection. A dome “is proven to be an economical and reliable solution for long-term storage,” said Dome Technology CEO Bradley Bateman.

Cement and cement-industry products are completely protected when stored within a dome. Domes boast absolute waterproofing and zero dust emissions. Thermal insulation means no condensation either.

Sealed and seamless, a dome keeps product inside and prevents interaction with the environment. This envelope is multi-layered; a dome is built using the shotcrete method, so concrete is sprayed in place without any construction joints. On the exterior, a high-strength PVC membrane covers the entire structure, ensuring complete waterproof protection for the reinforced concrete shell and, consequently, the material stored within. A mold-resistant UV-protective resin coats both sides of the membrane, providing long-term protection from two common sources of degradation. No other silo or bulk-storage system offers this type of waterproof protection, and this exterior requires almost zero superficial maintenance.
