You can choose from a variety of profiles, with single truss arches or double truss arches. The straight braces assure higher strength of the structure while oval tubing offers broader support to the membrane, increasing its longevity. HP and XP domes are the profiles most likely to be used for bulk storage because they allow high side wall clearance. Straight walls maximize storage space and facilitate machinery manoeuvres. |

Built to last, MegaDome® structures are manufactured with bronze welded steel having undergone advanced treatment procedures to increase its resistance to corrosion. Besides pregalvanized steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel is also available for applications in highly corrosive environments. All welding are accredited by the Canadian Welding Bureau. |

The volume of material to store and the necessary clearance for effective handling determine the kind of foundation to use. A continuous concrete foundation should be installed in cases where the pressure caused by the stored material is likely to be applied on the sides of the building. For other type of storage, concrete block foundations are also used. |

PowerShield® membranes ensure a superior protection against inclement weather and UV rays. Available in a variety of colors, the choice of cover for bulk storage buildings is frequently made with the only concern to match with the existing buildings. |

For bulk storage such as road abrasives, MegaDome® structures are often installed with one end open to ease the loading and the unloading of the goods. If the two ends must be closed for better protection of the stored material, MegaDome® structures can receive all kind of conventional garage doors, as well as curtain doors.
Every MegaDome® is designed with the concern of meeting the local and national building codes. All our structures are built according to their use, the wind and snow loads of the cities where they are being set up as well as the type of ground where it will be built. Additional factors are weighted in such as the proximity of an existing building or woods or an uneven building ground. MegaDome®’s quality is characterized by its concern for details. Furthermore, our PowerShield® cover meets BMEC (Building Material Evaluation Commission) standards, commission operating under the Building Code Law authority. Having jurisdiction in Ontario, Canada, this certification can facilitate the obtaining of a construction license in other Canadian provinces. Our engineers can also produce a BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) indicating that they are certified designers, an additional insurance that your structure is one of quality. |
