Temcor built the first aluminum dome for a water storage tank in 1968, for a wastewater tank in 1969, for a petroleum tank in 1977 and the world's 2nd largest free standing aluminum dome measuring 127 meters in diameter in 1982. The largest at 135m was just completed in 2006. All of these are still in service as are other Temcor domes withstanding the heat of a Middle Eastern desert, typhoon winds of 300 kilometers per hour on a Pacific Island and uneven snow loads of 1,500 kilograms per square meter in the Antarctica. No Temcor dome has ever failed.
Temcor products are precision fabricated to aircraft tolerances. Time tested maintenance-free corrosion resistant materials are used, such as proven aluminum alloys, stainless steel fasteners and silicone rubber sealants and gaskets. State of the art computers and CAD systems are used in product design and manufacturing. Skilled field construction crews work in all fifty of the United States using procedures.
