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.
