A building to store salt calls for a design that protects the structure from the salt itself. An asphalt floor and treated concrete walls eight feet high accomplished this goal. A steel truss system and roof set on top of the concrete walls provides a 72-foot free span of the working area, eliminating the need for interior columns.
