A New Way to Buy Monolithic Dome Salt Storages
by David B. South and Freda Parker
August 20, 2007
Presenting the 1000-ton, 1500-ton and 2500-ton Monolithic Dome salt storages
Here they are: Pre-engineered and pre-designed Monolithic Dome salt storages available in the three sizes needed by most communities.
More importantly, the purchase of any can now be done more simply and quickly. See below, a Price Sheet 
with the specifications and construction costs of either salt storage available for review and consideration.
That Price Sheet enables buyers to review our product, decide if it is what they want and make a purchase.
A new bidding method
We know that in most jurisdictions the process of purchasing a new structure includes soliciting and reviewing bids. Now buyers can simplify that process by using our salt storage specifications as the basis for their bids.
For buyers who do that, Monolithic will bid the building per those specifications, at the price listed on our website.
Salt storage going up!
Site for the Monolithic Dome must be leveled and pad prepared by the buyer. Monolithic will build the salt storage per the accepted and agreed on specifications.
Buyer will be responsible for accessing and providing water and electricity at the site.
Buyer can opt to have Monolithic or another contractor build and hang the doors, set the bollards and construct the floor.
Monolithic recommends a six-inch-thick, concrete floor with an asphalt overlay or an asphalt floor. We also recommend coating the inside surface of the dome with two coats of linseed oil, one thin and one full strength, available through Monolithic at an alternative price.
All electrical, mechanical or any other devices for installation in the dome will be the responsibility of the buyer.
Most salt storage structures are filled by pushing the salt into the building with a front-end loader. But if the buyer plans on pouring the salt into the dome through a top opening, Monolithic will construct the salt storage with an opening at the top.
For the Airform, that will be the dome's outer membrane, Monolithic suggests choosing a white or sandstone color. But other colors are also available.
Dome walls will be eight inches thick and ten feet high. That thickness of concrete provides bang-wall protection from most normal loaders. For buyers who will use super-size loaders, the dome walls can be made thicker. The dome's roof section will be 2 1/2 inches thick.
A Monolithic Dome salt storage has the strength to withstand a tornado. When not used for salt, such a structure makes an ideal, fully secure facility for the storage of vehicles and expensive equipment. It can also make a great workshop.
