DuPont's Mississippi Gulf Coast Facility Builds A Monolithic Dome Hurricane Shelter

In 2004, Monolithic designed a dome for DuPont. They wanted a structure that could survive a category 5 (155+ mph winds and 18+ foot surge) hurricane, for their plant in DeLisle, Mississippi. In 1969, Hurricane Camille caused extensive damage to the town and to the shores along the Bay of St. Louis. Ten years later, DuPont built the DeLisle facility. Its employees include a Hurricane Crew of 20 volunteers. Those volunteers now have their very own Hurricane Shelter -- a Monolithic Dome that has a 50-foot diameter, an 18-foot height,1860 square feet of living space with kitchen and bathroom, and a hardened entryway.
