| | Advanced Storage Technology, Inc. - Highway Road Salt Storage Buildings |
 | | The Hi-Arch Gambrel™ building was originally designed for a community that wanted a salt storage building with enough clearance that tractor-trailers delivering salt could dump their loads directly inside (instead of dumping it outside where it could be exposed to weather, and would have to be pushed in). |
 | | Our architect and engineer decided to tackle this design challenge and, in 1980, developed the essential features of the Hi-Arch Gambrel™ clear-span wood composite truss system, which was used in that very first building in a suburb of Rochester, NY. |
 | | As environmental protection became an increasingly prominent issue, the ability to dump inside the Hi-Arch Gambrel solved another important problem by preventing salt runoff from outdoor stockpiles, and has been chosen by many clients for that reason. |
