Clear Roads project 20-06, Salt Shed Design Template, developed guidance for a set of scalable salt shed designs that can be used as a basic template depending on a DOT’s salt storage needs.
The guidance presents three types of salt storage structures: domes, elongated domes and sheds. The choice of structure will depend on factors such as the volume of salt to be stored, the site layout, environmental issues on and around the site, and budget.
The outcomes of this research will help guide agencies in a basic approach to the design, construction and maintenance of salt storage sheds.
