60ft x 40ft Container Dome (18m x 12m)
Extra-Large Span Shelter Applications & Use Cases
The 60ft x 40ft container dome (18m x 12m) is an extra-large span shelter solution designed for projects requiring extensive covered space with significant width and length. Mounted to standard 40ft shipping containers, this configuration delivers a substantial internal footprint suitable for heavy equipment, vehicles, and large-scale operational activities.
This dome size is commonly selected for mining, industrial, infrastructure, and logistics environments where smaller shelter configurations are not sufficient and permanent buildings are impractical or unnecessary.
Common Applications
The 60ft x 40ft container dome is widely used for:
- Heavy plant and large vehicle storage
- Major maintenance and service bays
- Fabrication, assembly, or workshop facilities
- Bulk materials and equipment protection
- Large loading, staging, and logistics zones
The extended clear span allows for unrestricted movement of oversized equipment and efficient use of internal space.
Site & Industry Use
Mining & Resource Projects
Provides large-scale sheltered space for equipment, vehicles, and operational activities in remote or harsh environments where rapid deployment and relocation are essential.
Industrial & Infrastructure Projects
Used for maintenance, fabrication, and storage applications where significant internal clearance and coverage are required.
Logistics & Heavy Industry
Suitable for warehousing, fleet protection, and staging areas where weather protection and operational efficiency are critical.
Configuration Options
The 60ft 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 configurations allow the structure to function as an open shelter, semi-enclosed workspace, or more controlled operational environment.
Modular & Relocatable Design
As a container-mounted structure, this dome configuration can be:
- Installed without permanent foundations
- Relocated between sites or project stages
- Reconfigured with alternative enclosure options
This modular approach supports temporary installations, long-term projects, and evolving operational needs without committing to permanent construction.
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 project location.
Engineering guidance and certification options can be provided where required to support compliance and site-specific planning.
