APEX Domes Design Features

• BATTEN BAR SYSTEM: Our batten bar is designed as a positive sealing system, which compresses the gasket between the batten and the panel. In addition, the panel edge is designed such that when the batten bar is fully installed, the panel is compressed into the gasket.
• PIER ATTACHMENTS: Tank Connection can supply either a sliding pier or fixed pier design. Our proprietary sliding pier design allows the dome components to relieve stress in both wind and downward loading conditions, such as snow or ice. Other dome manufacturers only design for downward loading conditions.
• CENTER SAFETY LINE SUPPORT: Safety is always a determining factor in our designs. Our 360 degree central tie off attachment is no exception. The center safety line support uses a hoist ring that is designed for 5,000 lbs. (2,268 Kg.) of lateral load for personnel safety.
• FIELD INSTALLATION: Tank Connection can provide factory direct installation. The modular construction of geodesic domes allows for easy shipping and quick installation. Precision fabricated covers allow for exceptional ease of installation.
• BULK STORAGE COVERS: Tank Connection Covers' bulk storage covers alleviate environmental concerns by providing dust control and excellent protection against product loss. Optional custom designs for dry bulk handling and miscellaneous equipment loads are available. The strong, clear span design minimizes foundation loads and maximizes storage capacity. Common types of storage include mining and industrial use, such as clinker, limestone, coal, and fly ash storage.
