One of the challenges facing companies and individuals operating in distant locations is proper storage. Heavy equipment, whether it’s for farming or mining, may seem to be durable, but 24/7 exposure to the elements can wear down even the toughest of products. Your equipment need to be stored somewhere when not in use, but in remote areas, it might be hard to find a suitable place. Thankfully, there are companies that provide a solution in the form of prefabricated structures that they can install for you. Here are a list of the benefits in using them.
High Durability
A container dome consists of two steel cargo containers and a metal dome that the two support. The structure may look flimsy, but it’s actually quite tough, considering its job. Cargo containers were designed to withstand the elements. Being transported from one end of the world to the other requires a product that’s tough enough to handle a lot of punishment. With one of these installed, whatever you have inside can be assured of protection from the worst that nature’s got, which is a lot better than covering things with a tarp.
Easy to Build
The other reason you’ll want a container dome is it’s easy to build. All you need for dome installation is to have the right spacing for the containers so you can attach the dome safely. If you want to get fancy, you can add embellishments, like end walls, doors or shelving, but the most basic is just laying down the containers and the attachment. You don’t even have to do it yourself; you can have them installed by professionals, like Container Domes Australia, when the container dome is delivered. Plus, all of it takes an hour or so; no need for laying foundations or for additional construction work.
Lower Costs
The fact that everything is prefabricated means the installation costs are lower. Without high labour costs and expensive materials, a container dome is more affordable than your usual warehouse. You can even save on these shelters in the long run as they are more energy-efficient and can last a long time; not to mention saving on equipment repair and replacement as well, as proper storage makes your equipment more durable.
These are only three of the multiple reasons why you’ll want to use a container dome as your on-site warehouse and shelter. Get one now to reap the benefits.
