Design & Engineering

Smart, certified shelter design — built around your site and your standards

Every Container Domes Australia structure begins with meticulous design and advanced engineering. Our in-house team combines decades of fabrication experience with Engineer-certified expertise to develop shelters that perform safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Australian Standards.

Each project is designed to deliver structural precision, operational functionality, and site-specific resilience — whether you require a single engineered dome or a complex network of shelters integrated across multiple locations. Our collaborative approach ensures every outcome aligns with your operational goals, compliance requirements, and environmental conditions.

Engineering precision for every project

Our design and engineering process is defined by accuracy, certification, and performance assurance. From concept through to final documentation, each structure is modelled, stress-tested, and validated by qualified engineers to ensure full compliance with AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 and related Australian Standards.

Consultation & site review

Every project begins with a comprehensive review of your site conditions, loading criteria, and operational demands. This ensures the shelter’s design is engineered precisely for its intended environment and function.

Structural design & certification

All shelters are certified to AS/NZS 1170.2:2021, designed to withstand Wind Regions A–D, and engineered by qualified professionals. Our minimum design criteria is Level of Importance 2 and Terrain Category 2, ensuring total structural reliability across Australia, the South Pacific and the World.

Material integrity

Each frame is fabricated using galvanised RHS steel, providing long-term corrosion resistance and consistent structural performance. Fabric membranes are tested for tensile strength and UV degradation resistance with UV warranties up to 20 years.

Custom engineering solutions

From container-mounted domes to freestanding industrial shelters, every design is tailored to your operational workflow. Our modular systems enable scalable infrastructure with adjustable spans, mounting options, and accessories to meet complex project requirements.

Quality assurance & documentation

Design and manufacturing are governed by ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety systems. Every project includes full documentation, traceability, and Engineer-certified engineering packs to support internal audits, insurance, or compliance reviews.

Nationwide compliance support

Our engineering team provides certified drawings, structural documentation, and compliance guidance for installations across Australia and the South Pacific, ensuring every dome meets regional legislation and site safety obligations.

Our shelters are built to outperform industry standards

  • Engineered to meet Australian Standards: AS1170.2, AS5131, AS4100, AS1554.1
  • Certified to Level of Importance 2, Terrain Category 2
  • Wind rated for regions A, B, C or D

While these are the minimum standards we design to, our shelters can be engineered well beyond specification to suit complex or high-performance sites. From mining operations to regional worksites, every structure is designed to meet — and often exceed — compliance and environmental demands.

Container Domes after-sales support is excellent, and they’ve always been responsive and helpful with installation guidance when needed. Any on-site issues were resolved quickly and without hassle.

Okara

The quality of the materials, the efficiency of the installation, and the professionalism of the Sales / Estimating team were outstanding. They delivered exactly what was discussed, provided expert advice and the solutions we required, on time and with great attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Mackellar

We recently engaged Container Domes Australia to manufacture and install 3 x 40ft domes at our facility in Lidcombe. As these domes are intended to remain onsite for over 10 years, we needed to ensure we had a product and installation that would stand the test of time. The quotation and order process was simple and streamlined, and the team communicated clearly regarding delivery and installation timeframes. The domes were erected safely and on schedule.

MAAS

The team was on site when they said they would be, completed all site inductions as expected, and finished the job on time and in a safe manner. I wish all projects went this smoothly!

Austral Masonry

The installation process went smooth, and the quality of workmanship and materials is top class.

Verified Customer

I would like to express my appreciation for your efforts across all four of my dome installs, at separate location seen the Bowen Basin and Townsville. I understand the challenges involved in maintaining continuity of process on major construction sites in remote areas, but this never seemed to be an issue for you and your team. I will continue to use your team of highly professional staff for all future projects.

Flysha Trade Industries

I purchased a container-mounted dome shelter from Container Domes Australia and was impressed with the quality and value for money compared to other options we considered. Our shelter needed to be customised to meet specific requirements, and throughout the entire process, the staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. The team followed up after installation to ensure we were satisfied with the shelter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Container Domes Australia to anyone.
