Large-Span Shelter Applications & Use Cases
The 40ft x 40ft container dome (12m x 12m) is a large-span shelter solution designed for sites requiring substantial covered space with full-width and full-length clearance. Mounted to standard 40ft shipping containers, this configuration delivers a generous internal footprint suitable for large equipment, vehicles, and operational activities.
This dome size is commonly selected for industrial, construction, and infrastructure projects where smaller shelters are insufficient and permanent buildings are not required.
Common Applications
The 40ft x 40ft container dome is widely used for:
- Heavy machinery and vehicle storage
- Large maintenance and service bays
- Fabrication, assembly, or workshop areas
- Bulk materials and equipment protection
- Loading, staging, and logistics operations
The square footprint provides flexible internal layout options and efficient use of space.
Site & Industry Use
Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Provides sheltered operational space for large equipment, materials, and site activities, helping maintain productivity across extended project timelines.
Industrial & Logistics Applications
Used for storage, processing, or temporary operational cover where wide and deep clear spans are required.
Agricultural & Rural Operations
Suitable for housing large agricultural machinery, implements, or bulk feed and produce storage in open environments.
Configuration Options
The 40ft x 40ft container dome is typically supplied as an open-ended shelter, with enclosure options available to suit site conditions and operational requirements, including:
- Back wall enclosure
- Front and back wall enclosure
These options allow the structure to function as either an open shelter or a more enclosed workspace.
Modular & Relocatable Design
As a container-mounted structure, this dome configuration can be:
- Installed without permanent foundations
- Relocated between sites
- Reconfigured with alternative enclosure options
This modular approach supports staged projects, temporary installations, and evolving operational needs.
Engineering & Compliance
CDS container domes are supplied as engineered shelter systems suitable for Australian site conditions. Installation considerations may vary depending on wind ratings, exposure categories, terrain, and location.
Engineering guidance and certification options can be provided where required for project planning and compliance.
