Royal White Cement:
Full Restoration
In May 2022, Structure Dome Restoration was asked to inspect two domes located on the Houston Ship Channel for recommendations on restoring the exterior.
Upon inspection, the PVC airform was completely gone, and a thin layer of coating that had been applied at some point had failed with much of the closed cell foam exposed. It was our understanding that the property had been vacant for quite a few years. The new owner wanted to salvage the domes for importing and storing cement.
The entire exterior of the south dome was scraped relatively smooth and new foam applied in areas as needed. The north dome had many large blister in the closed cell foam that were cut out and replaced.
After an enormous amount of preparation, a restoration system was applied to both domes that has given new life to these domes.
