CST COVERS - Dry Bulk Storage Solutions Brochure- Brochure

Dry Bulk Storage SyStemSProtecting Your rawand the environment FromCST Covers is the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and construction of custom aluminum covers and structures for bulk storage, architectural, environmental, municipal, petrochemical and other industrial applications. CST Covers was created by the merger of the proud traditions of Temcor and Conservatek, the two leading aluminum structure companies in the world.Based in Conroe, TX, CST has supplied over 16,000 Covers in more than 90 countries. CST Covers aluminum domes and vaults are the preferred cover solution for protecting large volumes of bulk materials.• Corrosion Resistance—Aluminum oxidizes quickly to create a hard natural protective layer. It will last the lifetime of the structure and will not need to be re-painted for protection from the elements.• Low Lifetime Maintenance Cost—Aluminum domes have little-to-no maintenance requirements over their lifecycle.• Use in Any Climate—Aluminum maintains its strength through extreme climates. From the heat of the Middle Eastern desert, to typhoon winds of the Pacific, to snow loads in Antarctica, CST Covers domes are built to perform.• Smelted (Uniform) Metal—Aluminum’s structural properties are not altered in the manufacturing or installation process.• Clear-Span Capability—Aluminum’s lightweight characteristics allow for larger clear-spans than structures utilizing steel, concrete and other materials.• Design Flexibility—Aluminum’s excellent strength- to-weight ratio and creative component designs yield cost effective structural solutions for any application. • High Reflectivity/Low Emissivity—Aluminum does not allow external conditions to influence the process or product inside, unlike steel. The result is more stable & constant interior conditions.material From degradationairborne contaminantsAluminum DomesADvAnceD Technology for Dry Bulk sTorAge sysTemsCST Covers aluminum domes are uniquely custom designed for each application, taking into account the specific storage and operational requirements of equipment involved in the handling or processing of the stockpiled material. Structurally efficient and lightweight, clear-span aluminum domes maximize bulk storage capacity, minimize foundation costs and provide dependable protection from the elements while remaining maintenance-free.• CST Covers strut and panel system mechanically locks the panels securely into place, incorporating a seal with a fully engaged gasket. This design is the key to being able to provide effective water and gas tight domes. • CST Covers uses silicone for its batten seals. Silicone is an inert material not affected by ultra-violet light. We have nearly 50 years of proven use. • The closure system features aircraft quality tolerances in the manufacturing process. The system ensures a long term reliable seal.• Tighter tolerance manufacturing facilitates quick and trouble-free dome installations.A NEW innovative cover solutionOptiDome™ is a next generation aluminum geodesic dome from CST Covers. A result of proven dome design experience, modern engineering, high strength aluminum alloys and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. OptiDome is the most functional, longest lasting dome solution in the industry.• Patent pending batten seal technology exposes no sealant, protects against ultra-violet exposure and sealant degradation• Meets the latest design codes including Eurocode, Aluminum Design Association’s 2010 Design Manual, IBC 2012 and more• Increases water shedding and eliminates ponding• Corrosion resistant• Fast and low-cost constructionOptimized structural Design • Optimized Batten seal Technology • Optimized Aesthetics eFFicient in design. distinctive in aPPearance. unsurPassed qualitY and value.Flush batten and Panels—hub covers sit neatlY on both surFaces For excellent sealingbatten gasketed stainlesssteel fasteneraluminum panelenclosedsiliconegasket(Other gasket material available)double web i-beamvAulT covershigh TolerAnce mAnufAcTuring AnD DesignCST Covers can custom engineer and manufacture aluminum vault structures for a variety of different applications.
