Case Study: Duke Energy strengthens emergency equipment storage with Dome Technology domes

Duke Energy stores emergency equipment in a 43ft dome with Dome Technology

Duke Energy, a major electric-power provider, faced a challenge in meeting new Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommendations for secure emergency equipment storage following the Fukushima disaster. The company partnered with Dome Technology to construct a robust storage facility for backup generators and other critical response equipment at its Oconee power plant site.

Dome Technology built a durable concrete dome that provides column-free interior space for flexible storage and is engineered to withstand seismic events and natural disasters due to its strong, self-supporting design. The vendor constructed a total of four such domes for Duke Energy, which now securely houses all necessary emergency-response equipment in one centralized and resilient location. According to the customer, the structure is working out great and is capable of withstanding just about any disaster.
