Key Benefits

Most effective leak-protection solution – Engineered for maximum weather-tightness for both new tanks and retrofits. Ateco provides double sealing on clamp bars to get the most effective leak protection.
Low maintenance cost – Aluminum alloys are corrosion resistant and do not require painting like steel fixed roofs. There’s also no need for rebolting as the connections are made by lock bolts.
Emissions reduction – Reduces wind-induced vapor loss, aids in odor control and provides significant emission credits. For light products such as gasoline, a dome installed over an EFR can cut emissions by over 90 percent. By using Ateco, you can control and reused.
In- service installation – Can be erected on the ground beside the tank or on an EFR and lifted into place easily. There is no need to work so installation risks are minimized.
Custom engineered- To accommodate a wide range of spans and loading conditions for your operation.
Compiling with the codes- Ateco geodesic dome roofs are being designed as per the latest edition of API 650.
Platforms available- We offer you centralized and gauging platforms with handrails for any kind of operation.
