Overview

Dome Technology Inc. has been in the dome construction business for more than 30 years. In 1976, three brothers from Idaho began as innovative process for constructing storage buildings by inflating an airform® to build a concrete structure from the outside in a construction procedure unheard of at that time.

The three brother’s Barry, Randy and David South currently own USA (two) and Canadian (one) patents. Dome Technology currently owns a new patent to build large domes spanning more than 575 feet (175 meters) in diameter. Dome Technology has pioneered and developed every technique used in today’s modern insulated concrete dome construction. The company continues to lead the industry in innovations contributing to the dome’s versatility and efficiency of performance.

Dome Technology has built more than 350 domes in 18 foreign countries and 40 states in the United States. For the past several years, Dome Technology has been building 40 to 50 domes each year. The bulk storage industry continues to be the primary market for domes. Bulk products commonly stored in domes are: fertilizers, cement, clinker, gypsum, fly ash, alumina, grains and mining ores. Because of the domes’ inherent strength domes are ideal in locations that are subject to earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

The versatility of Dome Storage is demonstrated in the different shapes of the dome and the different reclaim methods that can used to meet your bulk storage requirements. Whether it is a tall Dome-Silo, a Low Profile flat storage Dome, a hemisphere shaped Dome, or any shape in between, Dome Technology can adapt the structure to fit your needs. Concrete domes are very flexible in both the filling and the reclaim of the stored material. Because of the Domes inherent strength, it can support an in loading conveyor system on top of it. Without internal supports this allows the material to fill the dome through one or more openings in the top of the Dome. The material is then reclaimed using Mechanical Screws, Fluidized Floor, Gravity Reclaim or a Front End Loader. Dome Technology has an innovative system to build the tunnels used in the reclaiming or bulk materials allowing the tunnel to be built safely in a rapid and economical manner.

Dome Technology employs approximately 150, which makes the company capable of handling numerous jobs at one time. The company’s crews are well trained and the engineering comes from the most experienced dome structural engineers in the world. Dome Technology often handles and is capable of handling any type of turnkey project as it relates to dome construction.

A After 30 years of dome building experience, Dome Technology continues to lead the industry in developing innovative construction techniques, which provide increased savings to the customers. The company’s goal is to design and build the highest quality domes, using the most economical construction methods. If you are considering a dome for your building needs, you will find Dome Technology a capable partner, able to assume leadership in every aspect of successful construction.
