Geodesic aluminum domes are the preferred cover solution for any storage application. Aluminum dome structures are superior to other cover designs due to alternate materials due to:

Key Benefits

• Most effective leak-protection solution – Engineered for maximum weather-tightness for both new tanks and retrofits. Ateco provides double sealing on clamp bars to get the most effective leak protection.
