Gunther Salt Company Salt Storage Building
28,080 sq ft Commercial Salt Storage Building | St. Louis, MO
Gunther Salt Company built a new storage facility in St. Louis for agricultural salt mix, arriving by barge and loaded onto trucks via conveyor.
The Rundown
When stored salt needs to be kept dry, corrosive building materials just won’t work. The team at Gunther Salt turned to a fabric building with hot dip galvanized solid steel frames as a long-lasting storage solution.
