ABOUT THIS SERVICE
What Is Container Dome Assembly?
Container dome shelters are large-span, steel-framed fabric structures that mount directly onto standard shipping containers as their base foundation. This container-mounted design creates a highly stable, cost-effective and relocatable industrial shelter system, without the need for concrete footings or permanent site works.
Dome shelters are purpose-built for heavy industrial and site-based applications. The arched steel frame supports a durable, UV-resistant PVC fabric cover that creates a large, clear-span internal space, free of internal columns or obstructions, suitable for machinery storage, workshop operations, mine site infrastructure and large-scale agricultural use.
At Summit Trade Group, we manage the complete assembly and installation of dome shelter systems. Our team handles all steel structural works, frame assembly, fabric installation, site coordination and transport logistics to deliver a fully operational shelter ready for immediate use.
Container-Mounted: No Concrete, No Permanent Footings
One of the key advantages of container dome shelter systems is that they use standard shipping containers as their structural base, eliminating the need for expensive concrete footings or permanent ground works. This makes them faster to install, significantly more cost-effective than permanent structures, and fully relocatable when operational requirements change, a critical advantage for mining and remote site applications.

Summit Trade Group manages dome shelter projects with a structured, stage-by-stage approach that covers everything from initial site assessment through to completed installation and handover. Our process is designed to keep complex installations on schedule and on budget.
01
Site Assessment
We conduct an initial consultation to understand your operational requirements, site conditions, access constraints and project timeline. For regional and remote projects, we assess site-specific logistics requirements at this stage.
02
Shelter Design
We advise on the correct dome shelter system for your application, span width, bay length, height clearance, end wall configuration, access door type and fabric specification. Structural drawings are prepared as required.
03
Project Approval
A full itemised project quote is provided covering container supply or positioning, structural assembly, fabric installation, transport, crane works and site coordination. Once approved, we schedule installation and lock in logistics.
04
Container Positioning
Foundation containers are transported to the site and positioned to the required configuration. Our team manages all transport logistics, oversize load permits and crane coordination for container placement.
05

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dome shelter assembly take?
Assembly timelines depend on the size of the dome system, site access and weather conditions. A standard 2–4 bay container dome can typically be assembled in 3–7 days on site. Larger multi-bay installations or remote projects with complex logistics may require longer schedules. We provide a clear installation timeline during the project planning phase.
Do dome shelters require council or planning approval?
In Western Australia, approval requirements for dome shelters vary depending on the site zoning, intended use, tenure and local government authority. Temporary structures on mining or pastoral leases often have different requirements from permanent commercial or residential installations. We recommend consulting your local council or relevant authority, and we can guide the consultation process.
What size dome shelters can you install?
We install dome shelter systems across a range of span widths, typically from 6m to 30m+ internal clear span, with bay lengths expandable in modular increments. The right system for your project depends on your required internal dimensions, intended use and site constraints. We advise on the best configuration during the consultation and design phase.
Can dome shelters be relocated after installation?
Yes, relocatability is one of the primary advantages of container dome shelter systems. The steel frame disassembles, and the containers can be transported to a new site. We manage the demount, transport and reinstallation of dome shelters at new locations. This makes them an ideal long-term infrastructure investment for operations with changing site requirements.
Do you supply the containers for the dome base?
Yes. Summit Trade Group can supply the foundation containers required for your dome shelter installation either sourced new or as quality used units, depending on your project requirements and budget. Alternatively, if you have existing containers on site, we can assess their suitability as dome bases as part of the pre-installation inspection.
Can the dome shelter be fitted with lighting, power and ventilation?
Yes. Dome shelters can be fitted with LED lighting systems, power distribution, ventilation panels, ridge ventilators and mechanical ventilation as required by the application. For workshop and operational use, we can coordinate electrical fit-out as part of the overall dome assembly project. We advise on the best mechanical and electrical configuration for your intended use.
