Bulk-Store Structures’ domes and barrel buildings are the ideal storage unit for
any granular type fertilizer. Potash, Urea, Ammonium Nitrate, MAP, DAP, to list a few - we
have designed and constructed facilities for them all. Over the years we have designed, engineered and constructed some of the best and most modern fertilizer terminals in operation today. No amount of product is too large or small to store in a Bulk-Store Structures design - from a single dome utilizing a ship's self-unloading conveyor through to barrel buildings with internal conveying systems and on to intricate arrays (circular pattern) of domes fed by one radial stacking conveyor that pivots about the circle feeding each dome through a roof hatch - whatever is needed to suit your facility and your product we can provide. For more information on our material handling and conveying systems please go to the Conveyor Page |

Multiple product storage is a relatively simple
problem to overcome with our dome and barrel building designs. The circular pattern of
domes fed by a radial stacker allows different size domes in the array for different
storage requirements. The other option available is a partitioned barrel building (see
picture). For more general information on barrel buildings, return to the home page
The Bulk-Store dome design is being used successfully in
fertilizer terminals around the country and around the world. For more general design
information return to our home page.
The TERRA AGROMART TERMINALS facility
consists of seven 124' diameter storage domes. Six of these domes are constructed with a
rugged 8' cement wall. The seventh dome, designed specifically for the storage of PCS
potash, has a 12' cement wall.
Designed to receive 400 metric tonnes of granular fertilizer per hour from rail or truck the domes provide storage for a total of 45,000 metric tonnes. All fertilizer weighs in on a new 88' computerized platform scale, and is transferred into the storage facility via a 325' overland conveyor and 200' radial stacker.
The new facility, including conceptual design and layout, rail track and site analysis, was designed by our own engineering team. The storage domes, overland conveyor as well as the radial stacker, were designed and manufactured by Bulk-Store Structures Inc.
We can provide a dome to handle virtually any amount of product. Our standard domes
range in size from 50 to 150 ft. in diameter and our barrel buildings are limited only by
the amount of land you have available. To get an idea of what size dome you will require
use the following capacity chart.

The dome size is nominal. The actual diameter varies due to segmented design. |
|
Building capacity is based on full charging with material at 30 degree angle of repose. |
|
First number given with regard to capacities is the capacity above the foundation wall. |
|
The number in brackets is the additional capacity per millimeter of wall height. |
|
POTASH: density = 1.124 tonne/m3 (70 P.C.F.). Angle of repose = 30 degrees. |
|
UREA: density = 0.770 tonne/m3 (48 P.C.F.). Angle of repose = 30 degrees. |
|
MAP/DAP: density = 0.963 tonne/m3 (60 P.C.F.). Angle of repose = 30 degrees. |
