Temcor Domes
Temcor has a long history of designing, manufacturing, and erecting aluminium domes for tank covers. Temcor built the first aluminium dome for a water storage tank in 1968, a wastewater tank in 1969, a petroleum tank in 1977, the world's largest free standing aluminium dome measuring 136 meters in diameter in 2006, and the second largest dome measuring 127 meters in diameter in 1982. All of these are still in service, as are other Temcor domes withstanding the heat of a Middle Eastern desert, typhoon winds of 300 kilometres per hour on a Pacific Island and uneven snow loads of 1,500 kilograms per square meter in the Antarctic. In total over 7000 Temcor domes have been erected.
