#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.

  1. Are doors to be placed to keep snow and other weather out? I am also curious about loading material into this type of building. Do you have to double handle everything or can an elevator be used?

    1. Good afternoon, Ritchie, Thanks for your question!
      Doors will indeed be added to the storage building. And an elevator could be used, or the materials could be dumped directly into the building.
