#KDOTTUESDAYS: New chemical storage building in Concordia

The new chemical storage building in Concordia features two bay doors on either side. 

Pictured above is the new chemical storage building at the Concordia Subarea office.

This isn’t the first chemical storage building in the State, but it is the largest and the first to have two bays with doors on either side.  This design came from the minds of James Roudybush, District Two Maintenance Engineer and Robert Fuller, Staff Engineer in the Bureau of Maintenance.  Most subareas around the State have a salt dome and one smaller chemical storage building.


When operational, this design will allow trucks to load from either side eliminating the need to scrape out old salt, sand, and other supplies from the back.  It will also allow different materials to be stored in the same bay.
