The new barrel dome facility at the PCS-Hammond Regional Distribution Center in Hammond, IN, can hold more than 100,000 tons of potash.

Partial construction process at PCS-Hammond Regional Distribution Center in Hammond, IN.
First set of arches being constructed. Work was staged so that barrel dome erecting was commencing while concrete was still being poured to reduce construct times.
The erecting process continues.

Portal stacker/reclaimer is being installed inside the barrel dome. Installation had to occur before the building was completed due to its size. The building endwall and concrete was completed after the stacker/reclaimer was erected and moved into the building.
