Container Domes Australia was engaged by SEE Civil to deliver a custom-engineered workshop structure for Petersons Quarry, a long-standing basalt quarry in Coraki, NSW. Operational since 1916, the quarry required a robust, weather-resistant shelter to facilitate heavy machinery maintenance and servicing on site.

Standard off-the-shelf dome solutions were not suitable for the quarry site due to the following limitations:

• Insufficient Height Clearance: Traditional domes lack the necessary vertical clearance to safely accommodate large quarry equipment such as loaders, excavators, and service vehicles.
• Limited Customisation: Most generic solutions offer minimal flexibility in design, restricting the ability to integrate site-specific features like enhanced ventilation or extended apex height.
• Inadequate Ventilation: Quarry workshops generate significant heat and airborne particulates, especially during activities like crushing, welding, and engine maintenance. Standard domes often do not meet required air flow or WHS compliance standards.
• Anchoring Constraints: The site required engineered slab fixing anchors to ensure the dome remained secure in variable ground conditions and high-wind environments—something not typically included in basic dome kits.
