Temcor Completes Construction of large Raw Materials Storage Dome

摘要

Temcor, USA, has completed construction of a 374 ft diameter raw material storage dome for Lehigh Portland Cement Company's Union Bridge, Maryland plant.Several options for the facility were considered, including steel and concrete. The Temcor Aluminum Dome was selected because of Temcor's experience in the bulk storage industry and because of the inherent advantages a Temcor Aluminum Dome offers, including: low maintenance; long life span; and the relatively short design, manufacture and erection time. Temcor was also an economical choice.The design, manufacturing and construction of the dome were completed in a fraction of the time required for other building types. The Lehigh dome was shipped to the site ready to assemble, and was erected with a small crew of between 3 and 12 men, with a total construction time of only 6,500 man-hours.
